Alisha was born on April 16, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York. At age 8, she began receiving vocal lessons and was coaxed into the music business by her parents, who arranged for studio recording sessions and recitals. At age 14, she joined the rock/dance group The Babysitters in Brooklyn. Her self-titled debut album was released in 1985 on Vanguard Records and included her biggest single to date, “Baby Talk”, which reached No. 1 on the Hot Dance charts in December 1985.
In 1987 Alisha signed a record deal with RCA Records and released her second album Nightwalkin’. The album featured the singles “Into My Secret” (No. 9 Hot Dance US) and “Let Your Heart Make Up Your Mind” (No. 23 Hot Dance US). It also included the song “Do You Dream About Me,” which was written by songwriter Diane Warren.
