What is it with Canada? Elepharts thinks that maybe they're putting something in the water. Because they just keep on producing these crazy talented young singers - first Justin Bieber who continues to take over the entire planet - and now this 12 year old sensation Alyssa Rubino. Alyssa's debut single "Keep On Dancing" rose to #6 on the Billboard Dance/Club charts last month putting her ahead of the likes of Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry. She already graced the cover of Billboard magazine back in January which resulted in her gaining Top 40 airplay, including #1 on SiriusXM's BPM channel. The music video for "Keep On Dancing" is scheduled to shoot next month, shortly before her anticipated sophomore single drops this Spring to a younger pop demographic. A promotional tour for Alyssa is already underway that will feature her on national television talk shows, radio, major teen pop magazines and subsequently, a live overseas tour will commence this Summer.
"I'm confident how quickly things have changed for me. It all seems more real now," says Alyssa, humbly.
With the frenzy of award season behind us, Alyssa was complimented by walking the star-studded red carpet at her first Grammy appearance. Beyond the glamour of the crimson carpet, Alyssa's most memorable experience was Access Hollywood asking her if she had "Bieber Fever". Her answer, of course ... "Yeah!" Danny Rubino made his own memory that evening. "I've always wanted to go to the Grammys and it took my 12-year-old daughter to get me there. I cried tears of joy," he shared.
Perhaps Alyssa's greatest endeavor is her active role in a multi-national anti-bullying campaign starting within the year in the U.S. and Canada, relying on the support and participation from local schools and police departments. She wants to impose onto her peers to "always give a good first impression and don't judge others."
