Award winning actor and Billboard Top 30 charting singer-songwriter Alicia Witt has played her piano-driven pop-rock music all over the world, including at the renowned Grand Ole Opry. She recently starred opposite Nicolas Cage in the smash hit LONGLEGS, which grossed over $100M In its theatrical release and has become the biggest indie movie of 2024. Alicia is also beloved for her many Hallmark Channel Christmas movies - many of which feature her original Christmas music.Last year she appeared on Fox’s The Masked Singer, winning her first episode with her rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’ and prompting guesses that she was Vanessa Williams, Sarah McLachlan and Sara Bareilles.
Her newest album, I Think I’m Spending Christmas with You, came out November 2024 and marks Alicia’s debut as solo producer on a full-length record. It debuted on Amazon Music in the #1 spot 24 hours after being released; and features special guests including Grammy winner John Paul White (Civil Wars), Mandy Barnett (Grand Ole Opry) and Matthew Perryman Jones. She released The Conduit in Fall 2021, which she co-produced; the single Chasing Shadows spent 5 weeks on the Billboard Top 30 AC Radio chart. Previous releases include 15000 Days, produced by Grammy award-winning producer Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones, Dawes) and the Ben Folds produced Revisionary History. A classically trained former competitive pianist, Alicia’s music has been described as ‘sharply personal, boldly melodic pop originals in the Carole King/Billy Joel vein’ (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Alicia is well known for her four decades-long career as a prolific TV/film actor (beginning with David Lynch's 'Dune' at the age of 7). Her over 100 credits include Netflix’s 2022 hit I Care A Lot; Orange Is The New Black; The Walking Dead; ABC’s Nashville; FX’s Justified; Twin Peaks (2017 and 1990); Two Weeks Notice; Mr Holland’s Opus; The Sopranos; Cybill; Urban Legend; and Fun, for which she received the first acting award given at the Sundance Film Festival (1994), and an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
