Internationally Renowned Pop Artist Aleesha lands new deal with Yellow Rhinestone Records and BDM Records. San Diego, CA, native and solo artist Alicia Sassano, who goes by the stage name of Aleesha, hits just the right notes of carefree pop and driven dance music to deliver a performance that can fuel the movement of any crowd, from a packed nightclub to a 20,000-person venue with several million more watching live on television. Aleesha has international fame already in her back pocket, and she intends to spread her music and enliven the dance pop niche she has created for herself. While she is most often compared to Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera, Aleesha draws inspiration from many musical influences, including Alanis Morisette, Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple, Eminem, The Beatles, Lana del Rey and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few. Aleesha brings her songs to life with the emotions gained from both pain and pleasure in her life, usually derived from her own inner personal struggle or past failed relationships. She puts these in perspective and channels those feelings into her powerful vocal performances. Aleesha has already earned herself several awards and featured appearances. She was one of the top four international performers featured at the 2011 Vina del Mar Festival in Chile, held at the Quinta Vergara Theatre. At this performance, she opened for such renowned artists as Sting, Pitbull, Yuri, Calle 13 and Alejandro Sanz and she performed in front of 20,000 people live audience and the event was broadcast in 66 countries and watched by a TV audience of an estimated 100 million. Various radio stations throughout South America have added Aleesha's "Love's A Boomerang" to their programming. "Love's A Boomerang" is also the first worldwide single release by Aleesha on BDM Records. It is available through iTunes , Amazon and many other digital download sites. Several of Aleesha's songs have been featured on TV shows and films: "Love is on our Side" was on a Valentine’s Day episode of "The Young and the Restless"
