WINNIPEG – Alysha Brilla hopes a Juno nomination for her first album, which she wrote, produced and performed, will allow her to pursue her singer-songwriter dreams.
“I didn’t expect it,” said the Tanzanian-Canadian singer-songwriter, whose debut album In My Head is nominated for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year. “To get it recognized by Canada’s music industry is amazing.”
Brilla, who plays Le Garage in Winnipeg on Friday night, hopes the nomination is the start of something big.
“I didn’t anticipate getting nominated, I didn’t anticipate all the media I’ve been doing, so I don’t know what to expect. I’m sure it’s going to be like my dreams coming true, hopefully,” she said.
