Inspired by the global sacred bass movement, her music is an evocative, lush journey into her own blend of bass-heavy electronic dance beats, melodic frequencies, gorgeous feminine voices, conscious lyrics, and sacred psychedelic sounds. Described as feminine and fierce, elegant and gritty, ethereal and primal, her music unfolds in a pulsing, hypnotic journey that moves both bodies and hearts. For 10+ years ALIA has brought her special blend of sacred beats to dance hubs around the world. She has performed at respected international festivals and conscious events including Wanderlust Festival, Envision Festival, Lucidity Festival, Enchanted Forest, Beloved Festival, and Imagine Festival to name a few. ALIA got her start as a resident DJ for Ecstatic Dance Oakland and she tours regularly bringing her unique healing dance journeys to Ecstatic Dance floors around the globe. Her original music is featured on the soundtrack to the popular documentary series, "The Bloom Series” and appears on many videos produced by conscious creators. ALIA is the visionary behind Feminine Medicine™, a series of collaborative albums that aim to amplify the feminine frequency on the dance floor. So far she has collaborated with over 30 artists for the albums and the stage shows and she has released “Feminine Medicine Volume 1” and “Feminine Medicine Vol. 1 Remixes”.
