Born in Sacramento, California to an American father and English mother, Alysha moved with her parents and older brother to the UK when she was just 11 months old. Her family moved back to the states and re-located to Folsom, CA after her father left the American Air-force and got a job as a Pilot for American Airlines. She was 8. During her years in America she was known for her ability to mimic her friend's accents and yet never lost her English one. After high school she was lucky enough to be accepted into her dream school The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). She spent 6 years living in London and working as an actor. She moved to Los Angeles in late 2004 to continue following her career.
