History
Alison was born to Michael and Tammy Breitman. Singing since the age of 4, she has been classically trained and is well versed in opera, musical theater and contemporary folk. In the mid-1990s she attended the University of Michigan where she learned to play guitar and began writing songs.
Alison moved to New York City in 2000 and began performing in clubs such as The Bitter End, CB's Gallery and The Baggot Inn. In 2001, she released her first album, The Good Person's Angel, a 10 song album of material she'd written from 1996 to 1998.
Alison returned to the studio in 2004 to record her follow-up record, The Game, an 11 song album of songs written with fellow songwriter and friend, Eytan Oren. Produced by Assaf Spector, the album got Alison together with a number of New York studio musicians for a handful of full band dates around the city when she wasn't doing solo acoustic gigs.
The Game received critical acclaim around numerous blogger spots on the web, including a feature review by Daily Candy.
In 2005, Alison moved to Chicago, where she continues to perform live and write new music.
