Biography
Early years
Alyce Mary A Platt was born on 19 December 1964 and grew up in Melbourne with her parents and two older brothers.[2] From the age of 12 she was singing in competitions.[2] At 16 she attended Box Hill Technical College for a two-year drama course.[2]
TV roles

From 1986 to 1991, Platt was the co-host of the then top-rated quiz show Sale of the Century, a job that probably brought her her widest audiences and recognition. She has since returned to this role for one special episode of Temptation on 14 March 2007, during the show's Battle of the Network Shows series, in which Temptation's hosts Ed Phillips and Livinia Nixon were contestants themselves.

Carmine Pascuzzi of MediaSearch website felt that she "does a decent job in providing an adventurous foray through her honest and melancholic musical thoughts. It’s a collection of material spanning several years. The songs are mostly told with positive feeling and the hope for better things."[6] Her second album, Live from the Vault, appeared in August 2006.[2] Her third album, Funny Little World, was issued in November 2015.[7]

In August 2004 Alyce Platt married Claude Carranza.[2]
