BIO
Felicia Alima; winner of the MAMA (Madison Area Music Awards) Urban/R&B Performer of The Year 2009, Urban/R&B Album of the Year 2009, Urban Artist of The Year 2008, Youth Vocalist of the Year 2008, Urban Artist of the Year 2007, and Urban Album of the Year 2007.
With the release of her debut album, “Know Me” in 2007, R&B artist and songwriter Felicia Alima took the bold first step in a solo career of absolute guarantee. The Australian-born, half Indonesian, half Czech beauty is undoubtedly the next big thing to represent international R&B. Growing up in a family accustomed to art and music, (her father being a great influence as an avid guitarist and musician), there was no doubt where her aspirations would take her. Moving to the USA in 2002, she became a mixtape DJ, which ultimately fostered her ambition to pursue her own projects seriously. In 2006, she released an EP “The Way We Do”. As a result, she created a buzz on an international level, winning the titles of MAMA Urban/R&B Performer of The Year 2009, Urban/R&B Album of the Year 2009, Urban Artist of The Year 2008, Youth Vocalist of the Year 2008, Urban Artist of the Year 2007, and Urban Album of the Year 2007, amongst being nominated in multiple categories throughout the years.
Felicia Alima is promoted and distributed by her own entertainment company, CHANTIK SOUL ENTERTAINMENT, (Chantik meaning beautiful in Bahasa Indonesia). Her debut album “Know Me” is available to purchase NOW!

“Those who think that the classic sound of sultry, soulful music has disappeared can find hope in the light at the end of the tunnel. That light is Felicia Alima.”
- Ya’ Heard Magazine (CD REVIEW) August/Sept 2006 Issue
“With a smooth alto tone and a subtle sultry energy in her delivery, Felicia Alima is a fresh new voice in local R&B. Her debut EP [The Way We Do], featuring smooth R&B jams interwoven with a club remix, is a fantastic introduction to the voice of this Australian born diva. The harmonies are striking and delicate and the production is very tight and full, with acoustic guitars winding through full kick tones and techy snares.”
