Aletta

Aletta (born Aletta Meijer) is a Rotterdam based singer and songwriter. Inspired by singers and songwriters such as Minnie Riperton, Tori Amos and Michael Jackson, Aletta started writing music as early as the age of 7, which were mainly instrumental pieces on the piano. In her early teens she started combining her poems with the piano pieces, and started her solo performing career in the late 90s.

In the late 90s/early2000s Aletta was a member of several hiphop and neo-soul groups including Impulse Traveller and Kozmik Booty. With Kozmik Booty she released the EP “Listening to the sounds of… ” in 2005. It was only in 2010 when Aletta released her first solo album called “A Jump at the Sun.” She has released several singles since, including “Love To Waste.” An open and honest song about her experience with narcissistic abuse, which has touched the “I’ve been here” spot in many of her listeners.

Aletta has been an outspoken advocate for emotional and narcissistic abuse awareness, creating awareness through music and through producing the documentary ‘Surviving Narcissists and Psychopaths" in 2019.

After releasing two collaborative singles with DJ Asides and Maverick Soul, Aletta’s latest single ‘Second Chances’ was released on July 5th 2023.
