We are so excited to present our Nashville Spotlight artist for the month of January, in partnership with H.O.M.E!
The electrifying Alis Vibe, who is known and loved for her bold and vibrant style, continues to bring us an expertly crafted blend of pop, dance music and her very own Italian roots. Combining her European heritage with her bold and vibrant style, she keeps on redefining the world of contemporary music. Currently based in Nashville, TN, Alis is constantly evolving her art, pushing her creative identity and shaping the sound of the future while staying true to her roots and the local music scene.
We had the pleasure of chatting with Alis about her art and what inspires her. Keep reading for a closer look at her music journey and her latest projects.
First off, we asked Alis what it is she likes the most about Nashville.
The sense of community and the creative freedom. Nashville makes it feel possible to dream big while staying grounded.
Alis Vibe had a very early start into the world of music. Soon, she would discover that music was more than a passion for her, but a place where she felt safe and fully herself.
I began writing and performing in Italy at fifteen with my pop-rock band, where I learned the power of collaboration, live performance, and emotional connection. Those years shaped my voice and grounded me as an artist. Eventually, the desire to grow pushed me beyond my comfort zone and led me to Nashville, where I continue to challenge myself both creatively and personally. Music stopped being just a part of my life and became the way I connect, feel seen, and become one with the people and the world around me.
In terms of inspirations, Alis always looked up to artists who embrace their emotional, theatrical and vulnerable sides.
Early on, I practiced songs by artists like Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Etta James, and pop-rock bands that pushed both vocal power and storytelling. Those songs taught me how to use my voice not just technically, but emotionally, how to mean what I was singing.
My biggest muse is obviously Lady Gaga. Not just for her sound, but for her fearlessness. The way she blends artistry, identity, and honesty continues to inspire me to take creative risks and stay true to myself, even when it feels uncomfortable. She reminds me that music can be bold, deeply personal, and connective all at once.
Alis’ music comes from a deeply personal place, reflecting her journey through life and evolving with her getting more and more in tune with herself and the freedom of self expression.
With that growth has come a deeper awareness that my voice carries a purpose: to inspire people to feel free, to express themselves fully, and to dance without fear of judgment or conditioning.
There is no denying that her music being truthful, liberating and emotionally alive is what makes it uniquely hers and incredibly special.
This project is rooted in the perspective of an Italian girl finding her place across the world without losing herself. About it, Alis explains,
The writing process reflects my experience of moving far from home, navigating distance, cultural shifts, and personal growth, while staying true to my roots and emotional way of expressing music. Themes of belonging, freedom, and identity run through the song, capturing what it means to evolve without erasing where you come from.
The anthem we didn’t know we needed
As “Italian Girl” gives us a sweet taste of what’s to come on the album Alis is currently working on, it is sure to have a significant influence of her future music.
It opened the door to a more fearless way of expressing myself, blending Italian and English within the same songs and embracing my full creative identity. It celebrates my freedom to explore the sounds I grew up with alongside the creative world I’m living in now in Nashville. Moving forward, this project gives me the confidence to experiment without losing my roots, allowing my music to exist in the space between different cultures and languages.
Hungry for more Alis Vibe? Next to working on her new album and evolving as an artist, she also has plans for live shows and more.
Alongside the music, I’m planning live performances that feel immersive and expressive, bringing the energy of the songs into a shared, physical space. I’m also continuing to collaborate and write in Nashville, allowing this next chapter to grow organically while staying true to my roots.
Stay tuned for Alis Vibe’s upcoming projects! We are excited to follow along on her musical journey and everything that lies ahead.
