“Alba’s music has been best described as a blend between old-school rock-blues and her passion for today’s soul/R&B and pop music. With inspiration ranging from Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Wonder to Alicia Keys, Joss Stone and John Mayer, her new single Heartbeat tips its hat to all of those. Her vocals are soulful, while the accompanying guitars are rooted in rock-blues territory. But while there’s plenty of both, they don’t always collide. The guitars are reserved for the moments when Alba doesn’t sing, with pianos and drum beats occupying the background when she does, thereby heightening that soul-pop vibe. It’s catchy, summery stuff. The London-based singer-songwriter is also a passionate environmental campaigner and talks passionately about how music can be green and environmentally friendly. She’s well worth listening to” - Indie London

Bio
"With a soulful voice and slick guitar skills, Alba will take your breath away. Joined by her band, this virtuoso has to be seen to be believed.
With blues and rock influences at the forefront of her music, you can expect dazzling guitar solos backed up by toe tapping syncopated rhythms. Lyrically, Alba’s songs are both thoughtful and thought provoking, as they are used to raise awareness of social and environmental issues and make a difference. The results are, quite simply, stunning.
Beginning her musical career as the front woman for Sons of Rock from the age of 16, Alba has taken stages by storm, captivating audiences and becoming known for playing her guitar behind her head as homage to the legendary Jimi Hendrix. After embarking on her first solo project and moving to London in 2016, she hasn’t looked back. She has performed on stages around the world, including Rock in Rio, and opened for highly acclaimed acts such as The Waterboys.
Originally from Spain, Alba is now based in London, making a big name for herself in the UK. With the huge success of her releases ‘Heartbeat’ and ‘ Leap of Faith’ you can expect to be hearing much more from Alba in the future" - Lancaster Music Festival
