Hi Alicia - sent a few emails from Jamio films about how to use your original music

[@dimeterchevaeros8480]

I used to have the same favourite Nirvana songs, but then I discovered the unreleased ones only recently. It was mind-blowing that I hadn't heard them before. My favourite now are: - Old Age (Accoustic) - This one would make for a great cover!! - You know You're Right - Do Re Mi

This is honestly the first time I’ve seen her speak, I was beginning to think that those videos she uploaded was from her childhood in the 90s and she was an older lady now

[@ExperienceEric]

lol its great to see the younger generation enjoying and loving our Generation X 90's music.We had it made growing up in the 90's, grunge was our time.

Girl you want to be an artist? Just go for it! You have an incredible voice, charisma and a lovely presence. Good luck, use all of your talent and fly high!

[@theozgeneration]

Never would have guess that you were brazilian and that English wasn’t your mother tongue. You speak it perfectly! (Well, and singing, and playing the guitar… anyway) Your covers are amazing and you talent is even bigger. Fell in love since the “down in a hole” video (was the first time I saw you and I suppose it is the most viewed video on your channel (and I could understand why)). Even if I had only seen that video only (which I didn’t), I can tell that you are an enormously talented artist. And I hope you keep on fighting, grow and get recognized for what you are and do. Love from Spain and Obrigado

You need to make more videos like this, because you have a great personality. You keep chopping yourself down, but you have a great speaking voice, and singing voice, and everyone should be jealous of you lol

Given your love of 90s music, I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on Soundgarden, and maybe a cover of one of their songs! BTW... I'm so glad to hear you love the Smashing Pumpkins. I think you could do a killer cover of their song Daydream.

[@AussieCat111]

I am like 12 years older than you and was obsessed with Avril Lavigne when I was in high school. She made me want to start singing. And I also love 90s grunge because it gives me nostalgia for growing up in the 90s :)

[@Julesdara]

i really hope your career grows you’re an amazingly talented musician it’s insane and you seem rly sweet

[@egroegartfart]

Alicia,. I have never seen you smile in all these years of watching. But you made up for all those videos today because you smiled the whole time. Haha. That was awesome. I just had this image in my head that you must be very sad all the time. Haha. Goes to show that we really don't know the person we see in the videos. I hear KZbinrs say that all the time. So this was great to see and learn a little about the awesome singer we watch all the time.....sorry,. Singer, song writer and musician. Loved the video. Thank you Alicia. I hope you make your dream of singing live and making it in music. I think you've already made it here on KZbin. So the world is next for whatever you want to do and where you want to go. Have a great day.

[@Countryball_Admin]

16 mins of Alicia saying she's pretty basic and uninteresting while saying things that makes her super unique and interesting. And btw I'm so happy to hear that gintama is one of your fav anime as well!!! Looking forward to more of your original songs and covers!

Now I'm obsessed with her. I would definitely want to meet her irl and chill for a day and then go back to my world.

WOW, Alicia is finally talking to me, what a day! lol.....I've been a serious guitarist for many years, I was a 90's teen so I grew up on grunge which is why I love your covers so much. Keep up the great work, I'm further along on guitar (one of the benefits of getting older lol) but you are pretty good player and you are a much better singer than I am. I played in a lot of bands for over 20 years so I like to think I'm a decent judge of talented and I think you are really talented and have great musical tastes. Just keep going forward, don't ever stop or let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@PurpleJamOfficial]

I can’t believe how basic the equipment is you use to record and edit, yet you sound so amazing you are very talented indeed 😊

[@sicknashty3837]

so, a few hot takes on this: 1. honestly, wanting to play because of hanna montana is no cheesier than wanting to play because of guitar hero (as in, it's just as cool). 2. your awkwardness on camera and weebness is relatable, i think most of your fans (including me) understand. 3. songwriting takes time, writing songs faster takes more time to master. 4. you seem to be motivated, which motivates me and your fans. to sum it up, good to hear from you, definitely make videos like this from time to time, and i'm looking forward to hearing your song (and i'm sure the Nite Folk are too lol).

I really enjoyed getting to match a personality with your performance videos, great job! The fact is that a career in music is right there for you to grab, just do it on your own terms. The world needs more young people like you in the spotlight. And by the way, as an English teacher and guitarist, I'd say honestly that you're doing very well in both disciplines. Keep it up and find some people to jam with!

If you want a Jaguar style guitar without breaking bank, see if Thomann will ship their Harley Benton to you. Their homebrand gets a lot of praise for the price you pay. Since it's an electric, you can just slap different(better) pickups on it to make it sound so much like the real deal that even pros can't distinguish it in blind testing.
