Daily Inspiration: Meet Alice Tumas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alice Tumas.

Hi Alice, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My father is a musician from Armenia, and I moved away from there when I was only two years old. Some of my warmest memories are from visiting my sister after she got married — spending time with her in a small, beautiful town in Russia. Back then, life felt softer somehow.
Now everything is a little different. I often miss the places where I once felt at home. I still think about my cat that I had to leave behind when I moved away… I miss him very much.
But over time, I’ve learned to search for harmony wherever life takes me — in different countries, different situations, different versions of myself. I started making music and actually learning to talk about it after 2021. Back then I still had some fun with people who were not even close to my heart.. i wasted so much energy on things that didn’t matter. My mom always told me to listen to my own thoughts before going to bed and then going to work. My reality now is mostly music and work. Even though I miss my family deeply, writing has become a refuge for me.
Recently, I’ve also been helping rescue animals, and strangely, that has healed something inside me. Now, when I’m away from the social media I have really good time with my family and people I love.
I hate being far away from the people I love. I understood that even more after I lost my mother when I was only 23. It changed me completely. During the hardest moments, my brother taught me how to keep playing music — especially when my mind felt exhausted and nothing seemed to work anymore. Music, love and writing became one of the things that still made sense

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest difficulties in my life were always connected to personal growth. Most of my demons lived inside my own head.
When I was a teenager, I dreamed of becoming an actress. But later, my heart pulled me in another direction. Then another.. My father once told me, ‘No one will stop you — just choose what you truly love.’ I think those words stayed with me for a long time.
Now life feels more stable, but my creative process has always been very lonely. Usually, when I begin creating something, it happens in a quiet room with dim light, completely alone with my thoughts.
Recently I talked to some people about bullying and hate that we can face in the industry we work or internet places where people going crazy most of the time. I faced something like that, got hacked my accounts by people who called themselves a “fans” of someone I respect. In 2024-25 i even blocked many of them and deactivated my pages to safe my personal space. I hope people will be able to find some comfort in their own lives.

I kept trying to find myself in different things design, helping animals, many different paths. Maybe that’s why I didn’t succeed in many of them. My mind was always crowded with emotions, memories, and questions… everything except work itself.
For a long time, I was trying to understand myself before I could truly build anything else.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m proud of doing what I love in peace. The first time I contacted a producer from Belgium and sold one of my songs, I was around 19 years old. I still remember seeing my work valued at 200 euros for the first time. Back then, it felt unbelievable exciting in the purest way. And I’m proud of it.

My mother was incredibly proud of me. What surprised me most was her reaction. She told me that this was exactly what she always wanted me to do. I think that moment stayed in my heart forever.
Later, I worked with a producer from Rome — I honestly don’t even remember his last name anymore — but together we created something very unique. That was when I truly fell in love with this life.
There is something beautiful about writing directly from your heart, without apologizing for your emotions, and knowing that people can feel it too. Imagine talking to people who live somewhere miles away and you still feel that connection with them.. that’s what can make you be proud of yourself. To be understood through art, and even be paid for it, feels like a rare kind of love.

Right now, I’m working on a new track called “Safe and Sound”. I love that song.. I think that title reflects exactly how I want to feel at this point in my life. Soon, it will finally be available for people to hear.

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Honestly, people don’t really know much about me. And it’s making me feel a lot better. Maybe only a few do. And what they like about me – is that they can call me anytime they want and I’ll be able to talk or help with anything they need to.. i talk to my sister for hours about life, music..

I’m actually very domestic — a real ‘bed person.’ I don’t enjoy crowds or noisy places. I feel most like myself in quiet spaces, especially during rainy and windy weather. That’s when I love to write the most. Horses and cats are my comfort animals and I love to read about them.
I also tend to romanticize and mystify everything around me. I notice small signs everywhere like hearing the exact song on the radio at the exact moment you need it, and feeling like maybe God or the universe is trying to speak to you through it.

I live very deeply inside my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes reality feels almost poetic to me, even in the smallest moments. Life is so beautiful and I’m so happy and grateful for what I have inside and out. Love is a Blessing. And God is love. Nothing can be better than love between souls.
