ALLISSA is an independent rock artist from Pittsburgh, PA. The cutting vocals of front woman Allissa (Kalemon), paired with melodic rock guitar tones and classic rock drumbeats, gives ALLISSA a unique and unparalleled sound.

 

Haunting melodies and vulnerably dark lyrics work together to expose a story of a painful past and reveal a message of hope to come.

 

Listeners can expect a high-energy, emotion-packed live show experience. Influenced by bands like Flyleaf, Evanescence and Paramore, ALLISSA’s rock anthems are dramatic, edgy and authentic.

 

ALLISSA’s first official project, comprised of 6 singles and 2 music videos, was released in 2021. She has recently released new music, including a music video and her singles, “Walls” (July 2023), “Out Loud” (November 2023), “Wake Up” (April 2024) and “Going Under” (February 2025). ALLISSA has been featured in CCM Magazine, Jesus Wired, and has been given airplay on multiple radio stations across the east coast and the southwest. In addition, ALLISSA’s music and live-show experience have earned her opportunities to play at Alive Music Festival, Creation Fest NE’s Main Stage, the Hard Rock Cafe, Stage AE, Jergel’s Rhythm Grille, The Crafthouse, Picklesburgh and Mr. Smalls Theatre. ALLISSA also had the opportunity to open for Colton Dixon, Sanctus Real, and Remedy Drive at the Revive Music Festival, and performed at the Carnegie Music Hall of Homestead featuring Brian Head Welch of Korn. Most recently, ALLISSA has opened for Liliac, Dove Award winner, Stephen Stanley, and Stryper.
