AllyOne

AllyOne is the primary artist identity of Alissa M.R. Eldridge, founder of Reality Builders Entertainment Works and the creative force behind the growing family of RRN Personas.

As an artist, writer, producer, and storyteller, AllyOne's work rarely stays confined to a single genre or medium. Music is approached as another form of storytelling- sometimes personal, sometimes fictional, and sometimes somewhere between the two. Rather than building one artist identity capable of representing every musical idea, Alissa began developing distinct personas with their own sounds, personalities, emotional perspectives, and creative identities.

That idea eventually grew into the RRN Persona project.

Artists such as Kaira Heartfelt, Mathew Cage, Alissa Michaels, Johnathan Gold, Daina Vein, Xenia Hex, Eryk Saint, Chronix, and others each explore musical territory that would be difficult to contain within a single conventional artist brand. Country-pop can exist beside Emotional Alternative Rock, Dark Pop, Americana, punk, electronic music, and other styles without requiring any one artist to become everything at once.

AllyOne exists at the center of that creative ecosystem.

Unlike the RRN Personas, AllyOne is not a fictional identity intended for eventual adoption. It is Alissa's own artistic name—the identity through which she can perform, create, collaborate, experiment, and occasionally step directly into the worlds she has helped build.

Alissa is also a transgender woman, and that experience inevitably influences parts of her creative work. Themes of identity, transformation, freedom, self-determination, vulnerability, and becoming the person you choose to be appear repeatedly throughout her music and storytelling. Some of those emotions are expressed directly through AllyOne, while others find their way into personas- most notably Alissa Michaels, whose music draws particularly heavily from Alissa's own thoughts and emotions.

That distinction is important.

The Personas are not simply alternate stage names for AllyOne. They are artists designed to develop identities of their own and, through RBEW's Persona Adoption Program, potentially grow beyond their original creator by eventually being placed into the hands of performers capable of making those identities their own.

AllyOne, however, remains Alissa.

The creator behind the personas.

The artist willing to cross genres.

The storyteller connecting music, characters, ideas, and experiences into something larger.

And ultimately, the person behind the microphone when the story is her own.
