Producer Alissia is a music lover in the truest sense of the term. Any artist who has worked with Bootsy Collins, Cee Lo Green, 21 Savage and Anderson .Paak would naturally fall in love with the studio, but Alissia's admiration for music is deeper than the talent she works with.

"Music always had a really important role in my life," Alissia shares. "I'm not great at talking. I feel like music is a better way to express myself."

Watch the below episode of Behind The Board to hear what Alissia has to say about her early collaborations with 2019 GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner Bootsy Collins, the lessons she picked up from Anderson .Paak and which decade of music influenced her sound.

GRUV LIVE – Alissia Benveniste @alissiamusic and Band

Last December (2024) some of our very good friends invited us to the Smith Center here in Las Vegas to check out a band I was unfamiliar with, the Huntertones.

From the moment they took the stage this six-piece band came out swinging with super high energy and one of the tightest, most entertaining collections of music I have ever heard. Driving the low end, Adam DeAscentis did a superb job of tying the melody and the percussion elements, together with great skill. The horn section reminded me of early Chicago with its precision and smooth unison. And I was pleasantly surprised with Dan’s tenor sax tone as it was so full and meaty. I later confirmed that he plays a 1954 Selmer (If I recall correctly); they don’t make horns like that anymore.

After we thoroughly enjoyed this show, I met Adam and made a connection for us to chat in more detail for this interview.

Join me as we hear about Adam’s musical journey, how he gets his sound, and interesting details about the Huntertones and their plans for the future.

Here is Adam DeAscentis!

PS. The Huntertones are:
Dan White on saxophone
Jon Lampley on trumpet and sousaphone
Chriss Ott on trombone and beat box
Adam DeAscentis on bass
John Hubbell on drums
