Aliza Hava (aleeza hah-vuh) is an award-winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who sings truth to power, inviting listeners on a profound journey of self-discovery, whether through haunting ballads that tug at heartstrings or uplifting anthems that ignite the spirit.
Featured on the soundtrack of Sharon Stone’s award-winning documentary, ‘Femme: Women Healing the World’, Aliza is a recipient of the Human Spirit Award presented by the international organization, Talent for Humanity. Her story is featured in their book, along with seven other internationally acclaimed artists using their gifts to help create a better world.
Aliza recorded her forthcoming album, ‘Into the Light’, at the iconic Revolver Recording Studios in Thousand Oaks, CA. ‘Into the Light’ is a ten-song, thematic rock album that takes listeners on a profound, transformative journey. With powerfully cathartic melodies and uplifting anthems, the album brings a sense of empowerment and healing to those who have struggled with trauma and abuse. The songs provide a roadmap for self-inquiry, navigating one’s way through a dark night of the soul, transforming pain into power, and finding peace in self-love.
Produced by multi-platinum, Grammy winner Mikal Blue, who is best known for his work with Colbie Callait, Jason Mraz, and OneRepublic, the album is expected in early 2025 and features bassist Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket as musical arranger and on bass/keys, and Gregg Bissonette (Ringo Starr, Santana) on drums.
Aliza’s music has been featured on compilations and soundtracks alongside artists such as Ani DiFranco, Lucinda Williams, Annie Lennox, and Rickie Lee Jones. She has shared the stage with legendary artists including Dr. John, Richie Havens, Pete Seeger, Bob Schneider, and more. Aliza has performed across the U.S. and in Canada, India, Morocco, Egypt, Italy, Australia, Jordan, Israel/Palestine, and South Korea.
In addition to writing her own music, Aliza collaborates with artists and songwriters and is a co-writer on Grammy-Award-winning artist Macy Gray’s upcoming EP, produced by Mikal Blue.
With an inherent message of peace and universal love, her songs embody the power of music to uplift the mind, body, and soul while staying true to the ongoing practice of reclaiming our Natural State.
