During a charity event held at the world famous Harbour Lights nightclub in Barbados, she wowed the crowd with her very powerful and distinctive voice. The Bajan Reporter review of the show wrote" Malissa Alanna totally astounded the crowd of all walks and strata of Barbados when she delivered two original songs called "I Remember" and "Popular". As soon as her set was over, the place cleared faster than a sale for iPad 1′s! It's as if the clubbers came to hear her and were happy once they got her mini-concert!"
