In ALCHEMY Ali draws on her influences, from opera and cabaret, to trashy 80s pop divas.

With the finest jazz musicians, she creates unique hybrids from popular songs, standards

and blues to create unique mash-ups and genre-defying versions of the likes of Madonna,

Salt-n-Pepa and Kiss performed by a 1940s style siren in a Las Vegas jazz club. As one of

Australia's most versatile singers, Ali brings a truly individual flavour to some of your most

unlikely favourites.

 

ALCHEMY  has performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Perth

Fringe Festival, Brisbane Powerhouse, The Basement, Sydney, Melbourne Recital Centre,

Hobart's Festival of Voices, London's Wonderground plus a regional tour of Victoria.
