Alison Fleming

Alison Fleming is a longtime songwriter and recording artist from Yorkshire UK.

As a child she took piano lessons and tinkered on piano creating melodies for fun. Her mother's love of musicals rubbed off on her with films such as, 'The Sound of Music' and 'Funny Girl'. She had a knack for poetry that won her a few competitions at school. By her mid-teens she had picked up guitar as well.

In the 1980s while working in publishing she started songwriting proper. The drive was emotional, to write songs that move the soul. Her first tracks were like musical poems and stories with an acoustic folk-feel and ambiguous chords and phrasing.

Her first song-demos to industry were well received among A&R folk in London UK, who asked her to put the tracks into better shape.

As her studio developed so did her solo writing style, which has been put under genres including singer-songwriter, alternative-indie (dream pop, art rock, free folk etc), Britpop, experimental and new progressive.

Notable success is with musical colleague and friend the renowned guitarist producer creator, Tony Lowe, whose productions of her tracks were pivotal in garnering the interest of Chrysalis Records, and later of Hit and Run Music Publishing (UK).

Lowe and Fleming's co-written albums 'All of the Above' and 'Second Nature' landed on the first ballot lists of the GRAMMY® Awards 2007 and 2008. Alison has contributed variously over the years to Tony Lowe's star studded 'esp project' and has co-written and made guest appearances on other albums on the Sunn Creative label.

In 2012 Alison began working also with music producer and songwriter Paul Baggott (UK). She has released four solo albums produced by Paul to date - three under the 'Freeway' project in 2017/2018 and latest album ‘Play On Words’ in March of 2023. Alison continues to write and record out of her 'Bear Studio' at home in Colorado.
