It is a pleasure to welcome singer and BIGO Live host Alicia G to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
A Buffalo, New York native, Alicia G, made her worldwide debut when her family appeared on the defunct ABC Reality TV series Wife Swap. The episode made headlines when the producers had twisted Alicia’s story – portraying unorthodox and irrevocably damaging defamation of character – Alicia G found her world in chaos where she faced physical and mental abuse. She addressed her struggles with Dr. Phil in 2013.
Alicia turned to her artistry and began to build her recording career. She started making a following with her takes on rap, hip-hop, and pop music. Her high-energy performances as a performer and DJ lead her to share the stage with the Goo Goo Dolls and playing at radio-sponsored events.
Her sound caught the attention of multi-platinum producer Andrew Lane, who worked with Backstreet Boys, Becky G, and Miley Cyrus. The two continued to polish her unapologetic, in-your-face music. Their first collaboration, “Pretty Girl,” landed at the top of the Independent Music Chart for three weeks. Other songs that the duo has released include “Talk to the Hand,” “Cash and Nap,” and “It’s Little, But It Jiggles.”
In addition to her recording career, she also developed a massive following with live streaming. In March 2019, BIGO recruited Alicia G to join their ranks of online hosts. In less than one year, Alicia G’s audience skyrocketed to over 3.15 million fans who would tune in nightly to see her perform, DJ, and entertain.
2022 is going to be a massive year for her. She recently decided to bring her talents to the country music world. Her latest single, “Daisy Duke Two-Step,” marks her arrival and her music video showcases her performing at a hoedown with her backup dancers.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Alicia G exclusively spoke about her decision to go country. She revealed behind-the-scenes details behind “Daisy Duke Two-Step’s” music video. She also told me which country music stars are on her dream collaborations list.
