Ms Alisha B, born Alisha Brown on February 28, 1989, is a London‑based soulful artist and songwriter originally from Luton, England. With R&B at her core, she blends Gospel messaging with influences of soul and reggae, creating music marked by rhythmic edge, melodic depth, and emotional honesty. As a worship leader with formal music training, her work is spiritually grounded while remaining creatively diverse. After stepping back from releasing music to navigate motherhood, health challenges, and personal growth, Ms Alisha B returned with a renewed artistic focus rooted in journaling and lived experience. Alongside her own releases, she mentors emerging songwriters through her Songwriting Academy and community, using music as a tool for healing, expression, and purpose‑driven growth.

With “What’s Done Is Done” out now, we took some time to hear from Ms Alisha B. Read below to learn more about Ms Alisha B, the story behind “What’s Done Is Done,” and what’s to come.

Hi Ms Alisha B! Let’s start with how did you choose your artist name?

My real name is Alisha Brown, and I originally released music under that name. However, because there are several artists with the same name, I needed something more distinctive. I chose Ms Alisha B because it reflects maturity, mentorship, and authority, aligning with me not only as an artist but also as a teacher and songwriter mentor.

What city are you from, and where are you based now?

I’m originally from Luton, and I’m now based in North West London.

At what point in your life did you decide to pursue a career in music? How did you get started?

I knew around the age of 14 or 15 that music was something that I wanted to pursue. Church played a major role in my development, and I later went on to study music at college, continuing to grow through worship leading and personal development.

How would you describe your sound?

My core sound is R&B, but it’s a fusion. I blend R&B, Gospel, soul, and reggae, depending on the song. Gospel shapes the message, while R&B shapes the sound and feel.

Do you have any hobbies outside of music? What do you do to stay creative?

I’m involved in dance ministry, journaling, melody writing, and running a songwriting community on Skool.

Who are some of your main musical influences?

My influences include Destiny’s Child, Brandy, Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, CeCe Winans, Ron Kenoly, and my cousins, Sonz of Thunder UK.

What’s one of the proudest moments of your music career so far?

When I first released my music in 2017, the song reached #8 on a Christian/Gospel Step FWD chart, and I was interviewed on Premier Radio.

What would you say are the greatest lessons that you’ve learned so far?

Music requires consistency, branding, endurance, and knowing when to pause.

What keeps you motivated?

My calling. Music is the gift GOD has given me, and I want to use it fully to encourage and uplift others.

Now onto your release, “What’s Done Is Done.” What inspired this song?

The song reflects a layered healing journey focused on release, closure, and peace rather than pain.

What was the inspiration behind the cover artwork for “What’s Done Is Done?”

The artwork represented me in that season rather than a symbolic concept.

How did the collaboration with Natty Joshia and Triple O come about?

Collaborations came through producer Luke Grant (GKID), with Triple O and Natty Joshia contributing their own voices.

What was the creative process like when making “What’s Done Is Done?”

It was collaborative and developmental, involving vocal coaching, songwriting support, and growth.

How long did it take to complete “What’s Done Is Done?”  

Around nine months.

What do you hope fans take away from “What’s Done Is Done” and your music in general?

That trauma does not define identity and that healing with GOD is possible.

What’s next for you?

I’m working on my first book, How to Write Songs From the Heart, a songwriting community compilation album, and a 5–6 track EP.

Thank you for the great interview; wish you much continued success!
