Alissa Michaels

Alissa Michaels is an Emotional Dark Pop persona built around raw emotion, vulnerability, intensity, and the thoughts people often struggle to put into words. While influenced by a mixture of contemporary pop and darker alternative-pop artists, Alissa Michaels is rooted much more deeply in the personal emotions, experiences, and creative perspective of RBEW founder Alissa M.R. Eldridge.

Because of that connection, Alissa Michaels is one of the most personal personas within the RRN roster. Her music explores pain, fear, anger, independence, resilience, identity, heartbreak, and the process of rebuilding yourself after being pushed to your limits. The lyrics are often deliberately intimate, carrying emotions that are held much closer to the heart than those of many other RRN Personas.

Alissa Michaels is available for adoption through the Persona Adoption Program, but taking on this persona requires an exceptional performer. Prospective adopters should possess a powerful and highly versatile vocal ability capable of handling the range, control, emotion, and intensity expected from the character-drawing from the kind of vocal presence associated with artists such as Adele, Rihanna, and Katy Perry.

Technical ability alone, however, is not enough.

The person who ultimately becomes Alissa Michaels must be capable of understanding the emotions behind the music and delivering them with authenticity. These songs are meant to sound lived-in, not simply performed.

Of all the RRN Personas, Alissa Michaels may be one of the hardest to hand over.

She was created from something real.
