Alissa Salls [1] (born November 3, 1997 [2] [3] ), known mononymously as Alissic, is a Brazilian singer [4] and model. Her first single, "Like" was released in 2020 and it was also written by British musician Oli Sykes.

Career

Alissic was scouted by a model agency at the age of 15 and later dropped out of school. After 8 years of working in the industry she lost interest [5] and wanted to do something more creative with her career. [6] She, then, started experimenting with making music at her bedroom [4] [7] even though she thought this was something really hard to do as a profession. [6] She always had a love for fashion and illustrations, and found that music was the perfect combination of the two. As a child, she would be a member in choirs and would play music instruments such as xylophone and flute but when she started working as a model she did not have the time to develop these skills further. [8]

In 2020, she released her first single, "Like" [7] firstly independently but later, in 2021, it was re-released under Ministry of Sound, [6] the first song she wrote after she abandoned her modeling career. [6] Her music talks about everyday problems, such as mental health, feminism [8] or death. [1] [9] Her husband, Oli Sykes has a significant impact on her music career as he assists her when producing and writing music, directing her music videos and has also taught her stage tricks, how to produce and write music on her own. [1] [10] [11] [12] [6]

At first, she wanted to be an independent artist but when a lot of labels contacted her after hearing "Like", she considered this was a way of exposing her ideas on a bigger scale and decided to join Ministry of Sound. [6]

Alissic's method of creating is very unique. As mentioned in Equate, while in the studio she creates detailed story boards and rudimentary sketches to represent her vision for the music she wants to make and also uses her iPad to write her lyrics alongside to drawings to create the song's vibe and idea. She claims that this method helps her produce better and it is the right method for her. [6] Her music does not have a basic theme and every song is different from the other, reflecting to her personality. [6]

In 2023, she released her fourth single, "Everybody's Dead Inside", which is co-written by Bring Me the Horizon members, Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish. [13] It was also later revealed that she had designed the artwork of Bring Me The Horizon's albums Music to Listen To..., Post Human: Survival Horror [14] and Post Human: Nex Gen. [15] [16] She also provided the female vocals on the band's hit song Parasite Eve. [17]

Inspirations

Salls' music is inspired by 2000s' pop. She enjoys both pop and eerie things and is trying to create a character that is like Britney Spears but part of a Tim Burton film. [18] Also, Björk's single "Big Time Sensuality" gave her inspiration to start writing music. [4] Among her music influences is also the creator of the xylophone, Albert Roth. Her music has Latin American vibes as she has revealed it reminds her of her homeland. [8] Some of her favorite artists are Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and Joanna Newsom [5] and the Brazilian acts of Novos Baianos and Secos & Molhados. [19]

Personal life

On July 22, 2017, Salls married British singer and songwriter Oli Sykes. [20] [6] In an interview with NME she revealed that the two had met when she was working as a model on a project for Sykes' Drop Dead Clothing Line, when they realized they shared creative ideas that they had in common.

In March 2021, Sykes shared a photo on Instagram confirming he stayed in Brazil with her for the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic to that point, that he had acquired a CPF number, [21] and had bought a house in the city of Taubaté, countryside of the state of São Paulo, where he was living with her. [22]

The singer in now based and lives in Sheffield, UK with her spouse. [18] [4]
