Early life and Musical career
Ali Stone began to build her life around music from an early childhood. Being four years old, she began to play classical piano. A year later, she began to study the flute, as well as solphège and music theory in a music academy where she was quickly moved to higher-level courses due to her absolute pitch. At age seven, Ali began to play guitar with Juanes's guitarists, who submerged her into blues, jazz, rock, and metal.[4] She then got to work as a guitarist for renowned multi-platinum producer Stephan Galfas (Kool and The Gang, Cher).[5] Throughout her teenage years, Ali also learned to play the bass and the drums.[6]
In 2013, Ali Stone participated in the contest to remix Disney's "Monsters University" soundtrack, and her work ended up being one of the winners. Axwell & Ingrosso said they had chosen Ali's remix because it was thought "out of the box".[7] In 2014, Ali Stone composed and produced the complete original soundtrack of the thriller "Demental", turning her into the youngest female film scorer.[8] Following this, she was chosen to participate in the campaign "Women Working for Women", belonging to the project "Empowering Women", which promotes gender equality on male-dominated jobs.[9]
Earlier in 2015, Ali Stone released her first EP "More Obsessed" on Variety Magazine,[10] consisting of four songs entirely written, produced, performed and engineered by her. Later, she released her single "Forever", which earned the position number 17 on Brazil's hot charts.[11] After being named by Billboard as one of the five new artists to watch in 2016,[3] Ali Stone released her single "Falling For You".[12]
In 2017, Ali Stoned performed at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Mexico City.[13] She was also the opener for Justin Bieber's Purpose World Tour in Colombia's section of his Latin American shows.[14] On May 26, 2017, Stone's debut album Sexto Sentido was released, consisting of 12 songs entirely written, produced, mixed and engineered by herself.[15]
