CD:
Fire water earth + sky is Alibee's first release. The name reflects the 4 elements of human nature, artistic adventure, complex relationships and spiritual truth. The EP features 3 original songs by Alibee, as well as a cover of the song Save a prayer by Duran Duran, included as a homage to the group that has inspired her since her youth.
Bio:
Alicia Bankhofer is the lead singer of the Austrian rock band Slave called shiver. Alibee is her solo foray into the elemental soulful pop genre.
A solid musical foundation graced her formative years in her home country of Trinidad & Tobago. After marrying and moving to Austria she lent her background vocals to Art & Easy – the jazz / blues combo of her husband Andreas Bankhofer.
As the elements would have it, in 2005 Alicia felt the urge to create + forge her own music, quickly finding root in the rock genre. She evolved beyond hobby projects to her new calling as a singer and songwriter, and hasn't looked back.
Influences: Basia, Aimee Mann, Natalie Merchant, Fiona Apple, Sia
