alisha torrealba Erao (she/they) is a vocalist, producer, filmmaker, music educator and organizer based in Los Angeles. Alisha grew up in central florida immersed in choir and dance. she went on to study classical vocal performance and music technology at the University of Central Florida.

Her interest in low-fidelity recordings and early electronic music during this time inspired her first experimentation with vocal sampling in composition and music production. She co-founded the garage-pop band ancient milk in this spirit, releasing four albums between 2009 to 2013 in collaboration with Bleeding Gold REcords.

as part of her undergraduate studies, she began teaching voice lessons and fell in love with the field of music education. Alisha’s teaching focuses on an accessible approach to vocal technique in the exploration of any genre, within music production, and in utilizing electronic instruments.

Alongside her experience in a range of electronic acts and classical ensembles, alisha has also participated as an organizer in the artistic community. During her time in Asheville, North Carolina, she co-founded the gallery/event space, Apothecary.

It was in this space that she premiered her solo project, Lush Agave, and performed “Madame”, a reimagining of the aria “Un Bel Di Vedremo” from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly. Lush Agave became an attempt to bring the themes of tragedy and romance of the operatic tradition into the zeitgeist. It is a merging of classical, technical practice with accessibility of pop music. Her performances aim to break down the barriers between performer and audience, creating a safe and vulnerable space wherein we are invited to ruminate on collective truths, desires, shadows, and grief.

Lush Agave’s debut release aligned with Alisha’s move to los Angeles. songs for a moon, premiered on the label never content in may 2019. two tracks from the ep carried over into a musical short film hidden eden, co-created with wild anima (Marseille). the film and accompanying zine was jointly released in 2021 via sacred sea and never content.

Alisha and Alex Helene Alexopoulos (wild Anima) continued their collaboration with la bonne mer (2026), initially premiering it as an audiovisual installation at The WaveCave Gallery at the California Institute of the Arts. It was released via the label sacred sea a few months later as a musical short film.
