Inside out Alice J.S. Carter
I caught up with Alice, you know Alice, Alice wtf is Alice for coffee at mine … better known as the little blond bombshell doing tribute gigs in Protaras and Ayia Napa . Her faves; Lady Gaga, Tina Turner, Kylie and anyone else under 5ft … Coming outta Beckenham in Kent, Alice is a prime example of the best things come in little packages . her sweet voice was evident from the age 8 . Ten years later graduating at the Association of London College of Music to Grade 8 … and musically trained at BRIT School of Preforming Arts in Croydon … Now, you’re just as likely to catch her on the stage at Rockefellas Bar in Protaras or singing at a wedding in Dubai or she hopes a panto in the West End at Christmas …
