It was just over two years ago that singer/songwriter Allisn first arrived in Ghana with the desire to create an Afro-fusion album.

Allisn spent the majority of her life engrossed in music: from singing at the church her father pastored in Austria, to writing her first songs on the guitar as a teenager in Israel/Palestine, to freestyling at private gigs in Vietnam, and performing with her band at larger shows in Australia.
As a young teenager, Allisn dreamt of one day traveling to the African continent and other countries of African Diaspora in the Caribbean and South America.
As she began to listen to more and more African and Caribbean music, she realized that there was a gap between the music she herself wrote and created, and the music she actually listened and danced to.

After a year-long stint travelling around the Caribbean and South America and being inspired by music with African roots, Allisn realised that she wanted to make music that she herself would actually listen to, which prompted the desire to move to West Africa.
Less than a year later, in July, 2017, Allisn relocated to Accra, Ghana and quickly immersed herself into the music scene, working with top producers, including Jayso and Unkle Beatz.
After releasing several mashups of popular Ghanaian dance songs that gained a lot of positive traction, Allisn is getting ready to release her first debut single titled “Kwesi” on October 9.
Her song “Kwesi” is a satirical spin on the dynamics between a playboy and his multiple lovers.
