About Alice Russell
On March 1, 1975, British soul singer Alice Russell was born in Suffolk, England. Her estimated net worth is $5 million. Born the daughter of an organist, Alice Russell grew up in the English town of Framlingham in Suffolk County, surrounded by music. She started taking cello lessons at the age of nine, following in the musical footsteps of her father and sisters.
She later sang in choirs and began studying art and music in Brighton in her late teens, starting in 1994. She encountered a wide range of influences while studying, including gospel and soul performers like Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, and Jill Scott.
“I was brought up in the countryside. And I’d sing in the choir with my dad. He’s an organist, and it wasn’t like this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine kind of choir. It was like proper, old English Church of England. And then I just started hearing stuff on the radio that I loved, and I gravitated towards soul music, and then also, all the boys used to play loads of hip hop. So from that, I’d find, you know, you’d go to the samples and then find the music from that, and that would also take you into another line of music.” Alice Russell to National Public Radio, in November 2008.
Was influenced by artists including Minnie Riperton, Eva Cassidy, Chaka Khan and Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.
