Alicia Michelle:
"the Speakeasy Siren with a Modern Pulse"

Alicia Michelle is not just a musical artist — she's a living, breathing work of vintage-meets-modern art. Since 2011, this sultry songstress has dazzled audiences as a sexy burlesque entertainer, dancer, and singer, leaving trails of glitter, rhinestones, and innuendo in her wake. With every note and every glance, Alicia embodies a bygone era of sensual glamour — yet she’s no nostalgia act. She’s a firecracker with a microphone, a sassy enchantress with a smoky growl, and a modern muse with old soul swagger.
Her fashion is as iconic as her voice — a high-voltage fusion of sensual satin, sexy sheers, vintage lingerie, and daringly sexy slits. She loves turning underwear into outerwear, channeling the rebellious femininity of Madonna, the iconic sensuality of Bettie Page, and the timeless glam of Marilyn Monroe. Whether she's rocking a rhinestone kitty ear headband or a sparkly flower tucked in her hair, Alicia’s look is always a head-turning statement — seductive, playful, and undeniably her.

She is the ultimate contradiction: a velvet dagger, a multi-faceted jewel in the rough. Her love of all things vintage bleeds through her aesthetic, from her signature crimson lips to her unapologetically bold wardrobe. But Alicia Michelle isn’t playing dress-up — she is the character, always in technicolor, always alive.

As the lead vocalist and radiant heartbeat of The Nightcap, a Tennessee-based jazz, soul, and blues band, Alicia brings timeless tunes back to life. Whether she’s breathing silky sass into a smoky standard or growling her way through a “jazzed-up” country classic, Alicia’s voice is unmistakably her own — sultry, playful, and dripping with story. Her vocal stylings have been described as sassy and silky, with just enough grit to raise eyebrows and temperatures alike.

Performing alongside a powerhouse lineup that includes smokin’ saxman Rick Thomas, bassist John Alexander, guitarist Amanda Butler, and drummer Bob White, Alicia transforms each live set into a vintage-laced fever dream. Think speakeasy meets soul revue — where the martinis are strong, the lights are low, and the music keeps you warm until last call.

And yet, Alicia’s artistry doesn’t end on the stage. Offstage, she writes and produces electronic music with her husband, blending her jazz sensibilities with hypnotic synths and pulsating beats. Together, they craft soundscapes that are both modern and moody — an intimate, electronic counterpart to her smoky live persona. It's just another dimension of her ever-evolving creative universe, proving Alicia Michelle doesn’t just inhabit genres — she seduces them, fuses them, and redefines them on her own terms.
Her musical influences are as varied as her wardrobe: from the powerhouse soul of Etta James, to the gritty blues of Bonnie Raitt, to the sultry emotional depth of Toni Braxton, with a little Portishead thrown in for a moody, modern edge. This wide range gives her music — and her persona — a genre-fluid quality that defies easy categorization. She isn’t just jazz, soul, or blues. She’s all of them. And then some.

In every performance, Alicia brings a little mischief. A little drama. A little wink that says, “I know what you’re thinking — and yes, it’s on purpose.” Saucy innuendo comes naturally to her, not as a gimmick, but as a second language. Whether she’s purring through a slow ballad or unleashing her full vocal firepower, she owns the room with magnetic charm.

When she’s not setting stages ablaze, Alicia is a passionate advocate and lupus warrior, bringing resilience and heart to everything she does. She’s also a nature-lover and health enthusiast, infusing her personal journey with the same honesty and strength that mark her music.

Alicia’s latest single, a hauntingly soulful take on "Summertime" featuring The Nightcap and saxophonist Rick Thomas, is a testament to her ability to revive classics with fresh emotional depth. It’s just a taste of what’s to come as her studio catalog continues to grow, alongside a vibrant presence on streaming platforms and social media.

Whether you catch her dripping in rhinestones at a sultry lounge gig, whispering secrets into a mic over a chill electronic beat, or throwing back a vintage cocktail between sets, one thing is certain: Alicia Michelle is the real deal. Raw. Refined. Radiant.
She’s not just a performer. She’s a vibe.
