Please go to [link=\"URL]http://www.alileytonmusic.webs.com[/link] for all the latest new on ali and music. \"Hi I\'m Ali with a penchant for writing easy listening songs. I live in the uk but my head is often in the clouds as I compose whatever springs into my life. At 13 ali picked up a guitar and two weeks later wrote her first song, a year later she pursuaded her parents to buy her a piano. Then she also taught herself to play keyboards, bass guitar and drums. After leaving school, she worked at her local theatre learning the ropes with sound, lighting and stage production, and was talent spotted by John Goater who involved with hospital radio. There ali was involved in many radio interviews and gala concerts, appearing along side with Richard Cartridge, Fern Briton and Alan Titchmarsh, which was a valuable learning curve for ali. ali also had a chance meeting with the American Singer/Songwriter Gerard Kenny in London. Kenny had previously been working with Billy Joel and was writing for Barry Manilow and other artists, Gerard gave ali alot of help and guidance, and also support and encouragement to\'keep going\' through difficult times. Ali was also involved in several theatre productions, including Chicago \'Oliver\' and was musical director for the stage musical\'grease\'. ali has performed at Butlins, Pontins, on blue funnel ferries, pubs and clubs and numerous other venues up and down the country. ali has been especially supported by Paul Miller on BBC Radio Solent and Southern Counties Radio, and appeared on his show several times, ali has also done interviews on various other radio stations throughout the region as well. Following her divorce after a 15 year marriage sentence!! ali was fortunate to record and be produced by Paul Rutter who prevously had hits with Paul Young. ali is also enjoying being with her daughter Holly. Well thanks folks for allowing me to take a few minutes of your time to introduce myself and my music to you....the music in your heart will last forever. And never forget.....you can give in....you can give out....but you can never give up!!!
