Ms. Alice McLeod was born on August 27, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan. Ms. McLeod was born into a musically inclined family in which her mother was a member of the church choir and her brother, Ernest Farrow, was a jazz bassist. Ms. Alice had begun playing organ and piano as early as seven years old. She began to perform in local clubs and network with other musicians. She soon met Kenny Hagood and married him, bearing one child. After living in Paris with one another for a year, they got a divorce due to compromising drug issues that Hagood faced. Ms. Alice and her daughter returned to Detroit to get life back to the way it needed to be. Ms. McLeod wasted no time getting back into her passion-music.
