Black Women in the Arts Series Welcomes: Alacia Reynolds, Copywriter, BMG
Hello Friend, I am excited to hear from you.
Welcome family to part 1 of our "Women in the Arts" Podcast series. I am excited for you to hear a story of innate power and resilience.
Alacia Reynolds, known as Alacia LaRobin in the entertainment world, began singing at an early age and has always dreamed of writing and performing her own songs. Alacia began her professional career as a teacher after graduating from Clark Atlanta University with a bachelor’s degree in English.
After years of working in education, Alacia decided to pursue her life-long dream of completing a music degree. She recently earned her second bachelor’s degree in commercial voice with an emphasis in songwriting from Belmont University and a master’s in the music business from the University of Miami. The shutdown of 2020 exposed Alacia to more opportunities in the music industry other than performing, and she now works in copyright at a major music publisher in Nashville.
