The Los Angeles musician recorded the project live in Nashville, capturing the throwback vibe of her favorite albums from groundbreaking female artists such as Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. Porter co-wrote every song on Pink Cloud, drawing on Americana, Country and R&B/Soul influences as well as the personal milestones on her journey. As a child in Massachusetts, she won Star Search and soon relocated to Los Angeles. She landed roles in films like Curly Sue and Parenthood then made her Broadway debut in Footloose and played Bebe Bensonheimer in the revival of A Chorus Line in 2005. Not long after that, a friend submitted her to The Voice without telling her – a surprise move that opened the door for the next phase of her career. Making an intentional decision to turn her creative energies to music, Porter accepted the offer to appear on the show – and ultimately won the competition in 2016. Since then, Alisan has been writing and performing all around the world. She has shared the stage with incredible artists such as Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert, Toby Keith, Cole Swindell, and many others. She has released three albums and written songs for artists such as Alison Krauss, Adam Lambert and the Veronica's. Now Porter spends time coaching young singers, songwriting, recording and raising her three beautiful children. @iam_alisanporter Greg Grunberg is best known for his role as X-wing pilot Snap Wexley in “STAR WARS”, as well as “STAR TREK”, “A STAR IS BORN” and alongside Al Pacino in the Barry Levinson film ‘PATERNO.'
