Multi-lingual vocalist Allison Adams Tucker has a passion for world cultures and the communication of music that binds us all. She began singing before she could speak, raised in the home of classically trained musician parents in the Southern California city of San Diego, and after years of singing in various genres, she has set her sights on World Jazz.
Her love for studying languages and music also began at a young age, and she has gone on to travel, study, and sing in 6 languages besides her own (and the language of music, of course). Her travels have taken her to over 12 countries, with a large piece of her heart and her life spent in Japan and Latin America.
This “wanderlust” is distinctive in the music she writes and chooses to perform today. Her debut CD “Come With Me” was released July 2008 (Allegato Music) co produced by Peter Sprague, and was nominated for Best Jazz Album by the San Diego Music Awards 2009.
