“I started posting on Facebook first – just for family and friends – because I was too scared to go public with it. That alone was the scariest thing because it was like, ‘oh my God, everyone from my school is going to know that I sing!’ But I did it because I wanted to get my voice out there,” Alessia explained.

She added, “Then I got confident enough to post on YouTube – and that was even scarier because it was public and I was only 13 or 14…. And I wasn’t the greatest, I’m not going to lie!”
