At the tender age of 20, Alesandra Pollack has already begun to carve out a niche space for herself in the music world.
Her journey began in the quiet suburbs of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, where she started to write her own songs at the young age of 7. These early compositions were more than mere childhood play: they were the first signs of a burgeoning talent; a raw, innate ability to blend lyrics and melodies into something greater.
As Alesandra grew older, her aspirations stretched beyond the boundaries of her small Pennsylvania town. She set her sights on the bright lights of New York City, a place synonymous with dreams and ambition. Her acceptance into New York University was an important milestone, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Alesandra’s story. At NYU, she chose to major in vocal performance, with a concentration in the contemporary vocal style. This decision wasn’t just about honing her skills as a vocalist; it was a statement of her commitment to her art and her determination to make a mark in the world of contemporary music.
With a developing love for songwriting, Pollack has cultivated a raw and vulnerable writing style. She aims to speak to audiences of all ages about navigating the all too common struggles of loneliness, mental illness, overcoming adversity, and the human experience. The subject matter of her songs comes straight from the heart of her personal experiences. One of her main goals as an artist is to emphasize the importance of vulnerability and authenticity.
Alesandra’s journey is one of talent, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of a dream. From the quiet streets of a Pennsylvania suburb to the pulsating heart of New York City, her music has evolved, yet her essence remains the same- a young, passionate artist with a heart full of melodies and a voice that resonates with its honesty and vulnerability.
Alesandra is beyond excited to share her debut single “Deep End”, set to release on January 4th.
Here’s what she had to say about the track:
“I was seventeen when I wrote‘Deep End’. At the time, I was about to go to my third treatment center and I felt like nothing was really getting better for me- it all felt like a never ending struggle. I want to open up a conversation about mental health and bring awareness to the struggle that so many of us face”.
