Allison Scola

Braver Kind Allison Scola

After months of working 12 -14 hour days at a top New York adverting agency, songwriter and singer Allison Scola realized that she had missed her true destination by just a few hundred yards: That moment was when she discovered that day in and day out on her way to the office, she had been walking right past the Brill Building, the songwriting headquarters of the 1940s to 1970s. Within hours she quit her job, and since has thrown herself into crafting songs and performing. Scola creates songs that weave hues of her Italian heritage and fascination with Mediterranean folk culture together with personal accounts of her experience as a modern American artist taking risks in love and life. Her latest album, A Braver Kind, produced by Janie Barnett and engineered and mixed by Jon Gordon, illustrates her power as a songwriter and musician. With a voice that\'s been described by Music-Reviewer.com as \'comforting and all-embracing, like being in the presence of your long lost best friend,\' Allison transports listeners to a world where hearts are bursting and dreams come true.
