".... Aliki brings deep spiritual truths to life.... presented in captivating stories that connect with real life... life lessons that will lead us to greater faith and freedom"

STEVE GRACE

Since 1994, Aliki has inspired hope and faith in Australians from all walks of life - from CEO’s to drug addicts. The message of grace is delivered in a down to earth series of humorous stories, beautiful songs and revelations of God. In 2004, Square One Ministries was established with the successful pursuit of touring remote and ‘forgotten’ parts of Australia.

ALIKI's style is prophetic, disarming and engaging, using metaphors to communicate often deep truths. Her transparency in sharing her own successes and failings brings men and women to often comment:  'today you spoke just to me.' Part of ALIKI’s gift is in quickly building trust with her audience, no matter where they're positioned in their spiritual journey.

ALIKI’s ministry to women consistently brings healing, revelation, prophetic prayer and salvation. This has made her a sort after keynote speaker for women’s conferences, sharing extensively across Australia and also in New Zealand. There's an ever present and increasing need to see women released into the fullness of peace, restoration and life. For ALIKI, this is an absolute passion.

“The bible says that the kindness of God leads people to repentance. I believe this 100% true and  makes the good news, exactly that. Good. I meet too many people in churches who have bad news. They are spiritually miserable and distant from God, because they can’t live up to the standards of Jesus. This is why I love sharing the gospel pure and unadulterated. Highlighting the risen life, not just the fact that we are forgiven. Being loved and accepted by a merciful God is enough to transform the most rugged or broken life. How do I know? I’ve seen it throughout Australia, over and over again……”  ALIKI

Aliki is one of Australia's highest selling Christian Artists (Wes Jay). Her first release "Signs of Grace" in 2002 won national songwriting awards with every song receiving radio airplay across Australia, the UK and Europe (UCB). Shortly afterwards Aliki was named "Best New Artist" at Canberra's then "Australian Gospel Music Awards". Her popular video "Wisdom" was broadcast on Shine TV NZ and the Australian Christian Channel.

Inspired musically and lyrically by Steven Curtis Chapman, Aliki's songs always had strong biblical roots with a pop rock edge in the music. In recent years Aliki's song writing has swung towards an orchestral pop with inspirational/worship style lyrics. There are five albums in the journey so far, including a compilation of the first three albums called 'Treasury Collection". Featured players on Aliki's albums include Darran Muller, Adrian Ross, Phil Yates, Phil Hirvella and Steven Dix.

Aliki has had the priviledge of sharing platforms with ministers like Doug Feilds (Saddleback Church USA), Charles Craft and Will Graham (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)  - and artists like Geoff Moore & David Phelps on Easterfest Mainstage and the Brisbane Convention Centre. Music distribution with Crossroad Australia makes Aliki's music available in Koorong Bookstores as well as itunes. In 2010 Aliki was named in Eternity Women's Magazine as one of Australia's top Christian female artists.

Aliki was born in Auckland New Zealand, immigrating to Australia at the age of 9. A Greek heritage left her with a name that always raised questions and skin that loves the sun. 'Aliki' means "truth", appropriate given a search that led her to Christian faith. A childhood involving divorce, separation of loved ones and time in foster care made her discovery of Jesus all the more sweet. At age 8 Aliki was holding prayer meetings under trees at school, taking herself to Sunday school and driving her parents insane with the name of Jesus. The following years took many rebellious twists and turns, including diversions to spiritualism and new age practices. Every path a dead end, and every path a learning experience, she returned to her Christian roots after high school.

Growing up, Aliki's lounge room doubled as a stage. With hair brush in hand, Abba sounds and moves were performed with great passion. A garage band in high school called 'Cloud Nine' was a closer to the real thing, It was in theological college that Aliki starting sharing songs and stories for devotions and chapel services. It opened a whole new world of communication and within a few years she was being asked to share at special events and functions using songs from favourite artists. Authoring articles for Christian publications and writing song lyrics emerged as a passion soon after.

In 2002 Steven Dix took on a mentoring role in song writing and performance.... this was the beginning of Aliki's recording journey. "Signs of Grace" received radio airplay across Australia, the UK and Europe. Songs off the album won national song writing awards (Oz Music) & Best New Artist at Canberra's then "Australian Gospel Music Awards". Video clips were broadcast by Shine TV N and the Australian Christian Channel. In 2004 Aliki quit a conventional lifestyle to live on the road touring the outback of Australia. Word began on a second album recorded at the famed "Mangrove Studios", now "The Grove Studios" at Gosford NSW. At this time, Wes Jay (The Rock Across Australia) noted Aliki as one of Australia's highest selling Christian Artists. Subsequent albums, books, articles and teaching videos followed.
