With Asian roots, an Australian upbringing, and the ability to sing and write songs of universal interest and flavour, Alarice (pronounced 'a-la-reese') has a unique appeal in her performance. Born in Auckland, New Zealand to Singaporean parents, Alarice spent her childhood as a third culture kid, growing up in Japan, Indonesia, Dubai, India, Singapore and finally Australia. It was her stint Down Under that awakened her passion for songwriting and music which she discovered as a young teen.
