Jazz has always played a large part in Alyson's life. Her father was a professional jazz drummer and her maternal grandmother played saxophone with, amongst others, the BBC Radio Big Band, and as a small child Alyson would listen to Barbra Streisand, Mel Torme and Sarah Vaughan records while her friends would be playing pop music. Alyson began learning her craft at the age of 11 when she attended the Corona Academy Stage School in London as a full-time student. As a child she appeared in several high profile film and TV productions, most notable of which are the original Superman, starring the late Christopher Reeve, and Young Winston, a biopic of Winston Churchill. As an young adult Alyson toured in stage productions of Grease and The Rocky Horror Show. She then turned to her love of Jazz and embarked on a national tour, singing with Glen's brother Herb in the Herb Miller Big Band, before forming her own quartet and gigging regularly around London.

After a break to raise her family, Alyson's brand of mellow jazz can once again be heard in various venues in and around London, the South Coast, and Brighton (where she now lives). Picking up where she left off, Alyson is fast gaining recognition for her soulful interpretations of some of the great jazz classics.
