A three-time finalist in the APRA AMC Art Music Awards, Alice is also original music director of the musical Fangirls, and wrote vocal arrangements for the AmazonPrime series Deadloch. Alice’s works have been performed in venues including the Sydney Opera House, Kennedy Center, City Recital Hall and Trinity Church, Wall St, New York City.
