SERVICES

My love for words and writing is something I was born with, and for a few years now I've been living it out professionally - together with my second great love, music. I dedicate my heart and soul to writing short biographies for/about artists, conducting (telephone) interviews in this context, and I have also editorially supervised EPK shoots. 

I furthermore translate artist biographies (often my own), press releases, websites, scripts, EPKs, song lyrics, interviews, pitches and much more. 

My work is characterized by original content that resonates with the artists, authentic translations that read like originals, and straightforward, reliable communication.

From time to time, I also provide on-site artist care at events and productions. Among others, I have worked with artists such as Joy Denalane and Max Herre, Peaches, Danger Dan, LEA and many more at the Pop Kultur Festival 2022, for the ZDF production "Stay Live", and the International Music Award ("IMA") 2019.

ABOUT ME

Hey, I am Alisha and I'm a German-American creator, born and raised in Berlin.

I've been working as a freelance writer and translator since 2010.

Having grown up in the district of Steglitz, I graduated from the John F. Kennedy School Berlin with a high school diploma in 2007, and later completed an apprenticeship at Universal Music Germany with a degree in Audiovisual Media.

I spent the following years roaming the professional worlds of music, media, and marketing in Berlin and Los Angeles, and gathered practical experience working as an artist manager, product manager, and partner manager amongst other jobs. Through it all, and even in times of full-time employment, I have always stayed true to my beloved freelance gigs - be it writing, translating, or working with artists for video shoots, live shows, awards, etc.

Translating and creating media related content brings together all my personal and professional backgrounds, experiences, and interests.

Having grown up navigating between different cultures, I don’t just speak and write in both English and German at a native level, but am also aware of all the linguistic and cultural nuances that are essential to retaining and adapting both authenticity and tone appropriately.
