Alé Araya, the 24-year old Chilean-American artist, producer, and songwriter has quickly cemented herself as a force across the global music scene. Off the back of her self-produced EPs in visions & INTUITION (released via Rostrum Records), the multi-hyphenate has spent the past few years writing and producing with esteemed upcoming artists including Greek, Riovaz, Joseph Chilliams, & Lexa Gates who Alé recently collaborated with on Lexa’s single “Lately Nothing.” While already receiving early co-signs from Raveena, UMI, & Monte Booker to name a few, Alé is also part of the buzzing POC-led artist community KOGO, alongside prolific originals like REHMA, CONNIE, Curtis Waters, KOAD, and others. Additionally, she creative-directs all her visuals, designs all of her own clothing, leads all choreography, and is heavily involved in the graphic design process throughout her various projects.

Classically trained in jazz and well-versed in digital composition, Alé began playing the piano at the age of 5, a gift passed down to her by her creative parents. The daughter of a Chilean immigrant born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Alé poured herself into music as a way to escape a tumultuous upbringing, quickly learning to play multiple instruments through years of playing in various jazz bands. She began writing songs in her early teens and taught herself how to produce via YouTube while exploring her own artistic identity. Simultaneously, she found a deep love for dance that proved to be therapeutic and it remains at the core of her art. Largely inspired by women queer-identifying artists like Erykah Badu and Rochelle Jordan, Alé’s art beautifully envelopes and dissects deeply personal narratives about Latinx identity, womanhood, mental health, sexuality and beyond.
