Rissa is a recording artist/songwriter currently producing her debut album. She broke into the entertainment industry at 6 yrs. old as a dancer performing in dance competitions, street fairs, fundraisers performing for heavy-hitters such as P. Diddy, Salt-n-Pepa, & Biv of BBD. She's graced the Apollo stage & made various dance appearances in music videos all by 13.
By 15, she accomplished acting and modeling titles, too; signing with several NYC agencies where she acquired roles in Levi's commercials, PBS programs, and educational videos distributed to various East coast Public schools. She also decided she wanted to sing and started producing/recording tracks for fun.
Now 28 and a bachelor's degree wiser, Rissa's ambitions burn stronger. Music has been her most strenous task to date. "I am an entertainer at heart. Music is in me -- it's my fate!" The artist has been hitting up the studios religiously producing many tracks - along with recording tracks for top selling artists - that has left her more than proud by the end of the day.
"I am so excited for my album [laughs]. I'm not just saying this because I produced the tracks and wrote the music. I truely believe that my music will be appreciated. I believe the public will take to it and all this hardwork will pay off...I've been working on this album [laughs] for a loooong time, now. [Smiles] It's happening slowly, but it's happening!"
