Ali Stone is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, music producer, and DJ from Colombia. She was recently named by Billboard as one of the five new artists to watch on 2016.[1]
Early life and Musical career
Ali Stone began to build her life around music from her early childhood. Being four years old, she began to play classical piano. A year later, she began to study the flute, as well as solphège and music theory in a music academy where she was quickly moved to higher-level courses due to her absolute hearing. At age seven, Ali began to play guitar with Juanes's guitarists, who submerged her into blues, jazz, rock, and metal.[2] She then got to work as a guitarist for renowned multi-platinum producer Stephan Galfas (Kool and The Gang, Cher).[3] Throughout her teenage years, Ali also learned to play the bass and the drums.[4]
On 2013, Ali Stone participated in the contest to remix Disney's "Monsters University" soundtrack, and her work ended up being one of the winners. Axwell & Ingrosso said they had chosen Ali's remix because it was thought "out of the box".[5] On 2014, Ali Stone composed and produced the complete original soundtrack of the thriller "Demental", turning her into the youngest female film scorer.[6] Following this, she was chosen to participate in the campaign "Women Working for Women", belonging to the project "Empowering Women", which promotes gender equality on male-dominated jobs.[7]
Earlier on 2015, Ali Stone released her first EP "More Obsessed" on Variety Magazine,[8] consisting of four songs entirely written, produced, performed and engineered by her. Later, she released her single "Forever", which earned the position number 17 on Brazil's hot charts.[9] After being named by Billboard as one of the five new artists to watch on 2016,[1] Ali Stone released her latest single "Falling For You".[10]
