Alana Edwards has been singing since she was a young girl by mimicking her mother who had a natural ability to sing and play the piano by ear. She also sang in the church at the tender age of 5 years old. She would practice singing in her basement with her brother and his friends. As she got older she always found herself in schools plays, choirs and high school musical events. There wasn’t much to do in Stevensville, Ontario, so music was one of her main interests that she enjoyed and it kept her company through the tough times. Her 6th grade teacher Miss Long was a professional opera singer and took her under her wing. She mentored Alana with confidence and trained her vocally as an opera singer. Alana soon realized that she was a good singer after winning Kiwanis festivals while in school.

Then, one day she auditioned for a play called “Singing In The Rain” in the Lilly Langtry’s Dining Room Theatre at Maple Leaf Village in Niagara Falls, Ontario; it was then that she realized that music was what she wanted to do for her profession. After finishing school, it became easy to work in bands after they heard her voice. Alana started auditioning in bands around Niagara Falls to get into the club scene. Her first band was “Stegeon Witch”, a four piece band playing blues and rock music. Next she joined the Le’Funk band which was a funk and disco band. 'Vocal Singer' became her profession which propelled her into larger venues with better bands.

Her first ‘Tina Turner’ Tribute Band was called ‘Simply Tina’ which allowed her to perform on cruise ships and travel abroad. While performing in England, She met Elton John in the 'Hippodrome' who thought she was Tina Turner until he appraoched her and realized she wasn’t Tina Turner. In conversation with Elton, she shared her love for Tina Turner and did this tribute show to honor Tina’s music.
