ALI, an acronym for their full legal name ‘Alyssa Lauryn Ibarra,’ epitomizes resilience and passion for music. Despite being diagnosed profoundly deaf in both ears, ALI refused to let any barrier stand in their way. From the earliest days of their childhood in the vibrant musical atmosphere of the Ibarra/Rubi household, where their parents and sister immersed them in melodies, ALI's journey has been one of overcoming obstacles with unwavering determination.

Shying away from the spotlight as a child, ALI's talent blossomed as they pursued their love for music through high school and beyond. It was during these formative years that their dream of pursuing music full-time began to take shape, despite the doubts and uncertainties that surrounded them.

As fate would have it, amidst the challenges of the COVID era, ALI found their voice resonating in unexpected places, starting with gigs at local venues in Walnut, California. But it was their unforgettable journey on Season 23 of The Voice that catapulted them into the spotlight. With their soulful rendition of "Killing Me Softly With His Song," ALI not only captured the hearts of millions but shattered preconceptions as The Voice's first deaf contestant.

Their performances on the show, including captivating renditions of "Unaware," "Best Part," and "Never Alone," showcased their extraordinary talent and indomitable spirit, inspiring audiences worldwide. A proud advocate for the deaf community, ALI embraces their uniqueness, paving the way for others to follow their dreams in an industry that once seemed inaccessible.

ALI's aspirations extend far beyond the stage. With each note they sing, they share their story of triumph, resilience, and unwavering passion. Their debut single, "Where Do I Go?" a collaboration with their cousin and music producer Christian Rubi, offers a glimpse into their journey, inviting listeners on a roller coaster ride of emotions and self-discovery.

In November 2023, ALI achieved yet another milestone in their journey when they made their debut performance at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. It was a momentous occasion, a testament to their perseverance and the transformative power of their music.

As they continue to make waves in the music industry, ALI remains steadfast in their mission to inspire and uplift others through their music and their story. For them, it's not just about the songs they sing—it's about the lives they touch and the hearts they move along the way.

"Every song I sing, I sing for YOU," declares ALI, a reminder of the power of music to transcend barriers and unite us all. Join them on this extraordinary journey of courage, resilience, and the transformative power of music.
