Born in San Diego, California, multi-lingual jazz vocalist Allison Adams Tucker began singing before she could speak. Allison was raised by classically trained musical parents, and began performing in front of audiences at age 5. She studied piano, flute, violin, dance and voice from elementary school and earned her BA Degree in Linguistics and Music Vocal Performance. Allison's vocal palette has been colored by her experience in a variety of musical genres throughout her life, from punk rock to Elizabethan a cappella. These experiences led her on a natural and steadfast transition to the world of jazz in 2005, where she has found her heart's home.
Allison's love for languages and world cultures also began at a young age, and she has studied and sings in 6 languages besides her own. She has lived in Japan and Spain and has traveled to over 12 countries. This "wanderlust" is distinctive in the music she chooses today. Her music reflects her passion for world cultures with rhythms, melodies, and lyrics of Brazil, Italy, France, Latin America, Japan, and the US.
Allison's debut CD "Come With Me" (Allegato Music, July 2008), co-produced by jazz guitarist Peter Sprague (Dianne Reeves, David Benoit, Chick Corea), has received international acclaim, was nominated for Best Jazz Album 2009 by the San Diego Music Awards, and continues to receive airplay on radio stations in 18 countries.
As a session vocalist, Allison's voice can be heard around the world on video games, and she debuted on national television MJTV (Music Japan Television) during her Japan Tour 2009. In Summer 2010, Allison Adams Tucker is scheduled for a return tour to Japan and her debut tour to Italy, France, and Poland. In the U.S., she has shared festival billing with jazz artists such as Poncho Sanchez, Kenny Burrell, Mindy Abair, Pete Escoveda, and Sheila E.
