Music Career[edit]
Early career[edit]
In 2005 Alicia began working with Doctor Fink, former keyboardist for Prince and The Revolution. The pair started working together on the “White Lesbian Rapper EP” in late 2005. Searching for a producer, and being a fate believing person, Alicia opened the phone book, closed her eyes and called the name her finger landed on which was Doctor Fink.
In the early portion for Alicia’s career, seeking to find an identity as a performing artist, she began performing in a superhero mask under the name “White Lesbian Rapper”. The name on occasion got shortened to “WLR” on printed show bills. Alicia performed only a handful of shows in the mask before loosing the mask and changing the name back to her given name and original vision.[1]
The name was changed back just before the release of “The White Lesbian Rapper EP” in June of 2008. The cover art was not affected by this change as both names are reflected on the cover.
