Alicia Selby, is a musician and singer/songwriter from Houston, Texas. She blends the punch of Pink with the vocal power and sassy attitude of an Annie Lennox to create what she calls a “Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic cocktail of music”. Her debut album, “Out of the Blue” is a combination of bluesy pop acoustic, adult contemporary, rock, & Americana. There’s a dash of country in this album, and a Celtic touch on one track rounds out this well-produced and professionally packaged independent release.
Originally from Bakersfield, California, Alicia is no stranger to the music world. Her father, August Gene Oldham, was a professional guitarist and fiddle player who played with Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. As a child she hid behind big Fender amplifiers and peeked out to watch and listen to these talented musicians play in the little Edwards Avenue house that rocked East Bakersfield each Sunday afternoon. Her father helped pioneer what became known as “The Bakersfield Sound”. Her father is not the only famous musical blood in her family, Alicia is also a second cousin to country star Carrie Underwood. Alicia’s song, “Second Cousin Once Removed” is loosely based on their relationship.
Alicia released 3 rock singles in May 2010, Empty Pages, Optical Illusion & Powerful Words.

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. Just a quick note to let you know that I will be moving to Kazakhstan (no Borat jokes please). Yes, this is true. I will be pursuing my songwriting and music in that country which is located in Middle Asia. Please touch base with me, my contact info will retain the same. All the best, Alicia
