If Madonna, Fiona Apple, and Mr. Bungle met at a bar...

Ali Sin has been performing since 2004. A classically trained pianist with deep roots in jazz and rock, singer/songwriter Ali Sin blends eccentric, progressive compositions with heartfelt lyricism to create her signature theatrical sound. She is a multi-instrumentalist (also a guitarist) known for effortlessly changing genres, and her wide variety of musical influences are evident in her songwriting.  With the release of her 2021 full length debut ‘Professional Killer,’ she has established herself as an inimitable artist with a unique blend of Avant rock.  

Ali was born in Rhode Island and began Suzuki method piano lessons at the age of four.  At the same time, she started learning New Orleans jazz from her father, who was an accomplished pianist of the style.  The combination of practicing both Mozart and Jelly Roll Morton every night were Ali's first experiences in crossing genres, and as she grew up she quickly became immersed in Providence’s thriving experimental music scene. After a few years on the Providence prog rock circuit, she relocated to Washington DC where she joined hard rockers Rome In A Day as lead guitarist/backing vocalist. 

In RIAD, she was able to lend her progressive rock background to composition, and soon afterwards the band began to tour nationally and internationally; their overseas travel being with Armed Forces Entertainment, the entertainment agency for the United States Department of Defense.  The band released two albums: "From HereAfter..." (2009) and "Rise" (2011), both produced and engineered by multi-platinum awarded producer Kevin '131' Gutierrez (Paul McCartney, Shinedown, Inaba/Salas) at Assembly Line Studios in Virginia.

For Ali’s 2021 full length debut, she went back to Kevin Gutierrez, now based in Austin, TX, and together they created a truly one of a kind record.  Armed with an all-star cast of characters - Dave Monsey on bass (Fiona Apple, Edie Brickell), Stevie Salas on guitar (Rod Stewart, Justin Timberlake) and Gil Sharone on drums (Marilyn Manson, Stolen Babies, Team Sleep)  - Ali crafted a piano-centric, wild mashup of moody NOLA jazz, rock and funk, featuring heavy metal guitars sprinkled over classical melodies.  From the frantic piano of opener ‘Arsons Lullaby’ to the apocalyptic funk of ‘Vicious Ballet,’ every track takes on a distinctive life of its own.
