Alicia Broussard stands out among the 1,300+ artists that I've worked with since founding Hollowbody LA in early 2007.
She's not only a fine talent, but a true professional and simply loaded with heaps of energy and creativity.
I'm always ina better place when I have her on my schedule.

In a small crowded space just above the SXSW swarmed 6th street, a small acoustic act quietly away the performances of many of this year’s larger acts with a vocal & songwriting powerhouse. Alicia Broussard, one of our own Texas natives, traveled this year to SXSW to unleash her newest album “Miss u. Dig U. Love U.” to the hive of true music lovers. Crowded bars talk, and noise floods every corner of this town, except for the room she filled with a voice that meets somewhere between our modern muses like Regina Spektor, and our song goddesses of the past Carol King & Juice Newton. She opens her mouth, the room froze to listen. Her 45 minute set was filled song after song of her own work that dares to be some of the best songwriting I heard the whole festival, with great cover selections like “Fools Rush In,” tucked in just the right place. Armed with a staggeringly good guitarist, a man on keys, and a second guitar strapped to her, Alicia was the upstairs secret that I hope to see hold her own with the big bookings at next year’s festival. - Insite, Austin, TX

Bio
Alicia began singing the day she was born, but actively pursued a career in Opera at the age 14. Actively competing, and performing in the field she made quite a name for herself, becoming one of the first high school students to join the Houston Grand Opera Intern Program. Later moving to Dallas, where she attended Southern Methodist University, she performed regularly with both the prestigious Meadows School of the Arts, and The Dallas Opera. Currently a full-time singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, California, Alicia spends her time writing haunting, memorable melodies and lyrics that are paired with hooky and loveable riffs. A proven songwriting talent, Alicia has written for Capitol Records, written and produced for Cimota, and has co-written on over a dozen indie albums. Audiences lucky enough to hear her can feel the overwhelming emotion in her haunting and powerful voice. Listeners have described her soulful songs as topics that we all can relate to, with music we love to hear. Although she is no longer an opera house hopeful, Alicia is one to watch in the time to come. Her new album, "Miss U. Dig U. Love U." was released digitally on March 29.
