ALYSSA BERNAL
It all started when a San Antonio singer and songwriter Alyssa Bernal launched her YouTube channel back in May 2006, hchsknights08, and effortlessly caught the attention of Pharrell Williams including 400,000+ fans around the world. Alyssa was an everyday ordinary teenager who had a remarkable voice and had a passion for music. She began covering popular songs from different genres and began to write her own originals. One year later, Star Trak Entertainment brought her album live on iTunes and a CD.
She taught herself to play the guitar, and soon added more videos on YouTube. She covered mainstream songs such as Marry You by Bruno Mars, Take A Bow by Rihanna and Chasing Pavements by Adele. Soon enough, her fan base grew to 405,876 subscribers with 87,751,822 total upload views. Her 89 videos thus far has been equally popular as she captures each artist's song with a new twist. Her approach is fun, fresh, and bold. Fans young and old were impressed and this awarded her to be #17 Most Subscribed (Of All Time).
Alyssa was first approached by platinum-selling artist Pharrell Williams but she accidentally neglected him. However, his persistency and continuous attempts to reach her finally allowed her to launch her album.
"Finding a new talent like Alyssa is so exciting to me," Pharrell Williams said. "She is a true musician with an incredible voice."
As a young girl, Alyssa watched her father perform on stage and was amazed, hoping she can experience similar opportunities one day. Her naturally shy attitude is quickly turned into excitement when she goes on tour and interact with fans. Her album is very personal and talks about distance love, homesickness, and the mood is quite calm and easygoing.
