Pianist/vocalist Alissa Moreno is a heartfelt singer/songwriter with a knack for intimate and melodic contemporary pop songs. A native of Albuquerque, NM, where her parents taught on a Navajo reservation, Moreno is also the granddaughter of drummer Bob Moreno, who played with Mel Tormé, among others. Encouraged by her grandfather to pursue her musical studies, Moreno ultimately developed into not only a skilled performer, but also a songwriter and in-demand teacher. Subsequently, Moreno has found work in a variety of settings, not the least of which included being a vocal coach for actor Ben Affleck on the set of his film Hollywoodland. Her own music has been featured in film and television shows including MTV's The Hills and CBS' How I Met Your Mother. Moreno has a four-song EP available, and her full-length debut was slated for release in late 2007. ~ Matt Collar
