S2 E42 | Ride with Alissa Hale: From Alabama to Florida, Alissa Hale’s Country Music Journey

Meet Alissa Hale, a rising country star who’s redefining what it means to be a modern artist. Born and raised in Alabama with a 12-year background in gymnastics and ballet, Alissa’s path to music came through an unexpected intersection of talent, determination, and a mother who believed in her enough to talk her up to a music producer.

During this candid conversation, Alissa gives listeners an exclusive world premiere of her upcoming single “Ride” – a bold, wild anthem for Southern girls who aren’t afraid to embrace their freedom and make no apologies for it.
