It was said that music and acting ran in the blood of the Michalka family. At just the young age of five years old, acting and music became Alyson's first love. Aly went to church to attend the Childrens' Performing Arts group. Through this involvment with acting she had grown to love it. When she was 11 years old she began working as a print model, and started studying acting even more. Now at just the tender age of 15 she is a professional singer/songwriter, and actress. She practices guitar and piano alongside her sister, Amanda or more commonly "A.J.", in which acts and shares part in a performing duo. "Aly & AJ" are coming up in the music industry being shown on MTV, VH1, and Disney. When Aly is not busy acting, singing, writing, or performing she loves to dance, horseback ride, read, hang out with her family, and her pets. You can watch Alyson every week as Keely on Disney's Phil of the Future. Amanda Michalka, sister of Aly, took after her older sister and began in the acting business at the age of nine.
