Alicia Gómez[2] (born c. 1992), known professionally as Ali Stone, is a record producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, engineer, and DJ from Colombia.

Blige, Danna, Sofia Reyes, Paty Cantú, Francisca Valenzuela, among many others.

In 2024, she got nominated for Best Alternative Music Album with Pandora, Best Rock Song with "Camaleónica", and Best Pop/Rock Song with "Afilá", both belonging to her album Pandora. This was the first time in Latin Grammys history where an album made entirely by a single person got nominated to the awards.[4] In 2025, she got nominated for Best Rock Song with "TRNA", from her album A Través Del Espejo.[5]

Stone has also participated as producer and engineer in two albums nominated to the Grammy Awards.

Early life and musical career

Ali Stone began to build her life around music from an early childhood. Being four years old, she began to play classical piano. A year later, she began to study the flute, as well as solphège and music theory in a music academy where she was quickly moved to higher-level courses due to her fast learning. At age seven, Ali began to play guitar with Juanes's guitarists, who submerged her into blues, jazz, rock, and metal.[8] She then got to work as a guitarist for renowned multi-platinum producer Stephan Galfas (Kool and The Gang, Cher).[9] Throughout her teenage years, Ali also learned to play the bass and the drums.[10]

In 2013, Ali Stone participated in the contest to remix Disney's "Monsters University" soundtrack, and her work ended up being one of the winners. Axwell & Ingrosso said they had chosen Ali's remix because it was thought "out of the box".[11] In 2014, Ali Stone composed and produced the complete original soundtrack of the thriller "Demental", turning her into one of the youngest female film scorers.[12] Following this, she was chosen to participate in the campaign "Women Working for Women", belonging to the project "Empowering Women", which promotes gender equality on male-dominated jobs.[13]

Earlier in 2015, Ali Stone released her first EP "More Obsessed" on Variety Magazine,[14] consisting of four songs entirely written, produced, performed and engineered by her. Later, she released her single "Forever", which earned the position number 17 on Brazil's hot charts.[15] After being named by Billboard as one of the five new artists to watch in 2016,[16] Ali Stone released her single "Falling For You".[17]

In 2017, Ali Stone performed at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Mexico City.[18] She was also the opener for Justin Bieber's Purpose World Tour in Colombia's section of his Latin American shows.[19] On May 26, 2017, Stone's debut album Sexto Sentido was released, consisting of 12 songs entirely written, produced, mixed and mastered by herself.[20]

Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2018, Ali Stone has been writing and producing songs for the likes of Diplo, Major Lazer, Mary J. Blige, Danna, Sofia Reyes, RBD, among many others. In 2024, she was named by Spotify EQUAL as the Global Songwriter Ambassador. Stone's work now surpasses one billion streams worldwide.
