Alice Di Micele grew up in New Jersey to a pianist mother and a school teacher father, and received her initial formal musical training in voice and on the recorder, flute, and guitar in Linden Public Schools and SUNY New Paltz. Throughout these early years she was active in several popular, short-lived, local bands; but began seriously focusing on acoustic guitar as an accomplished musician and cultural activist while moving to Southern Oregon.

In Oregon, Di Micele founded her own Independent record label, Alice Otter Music, to promote not only her own music but also that of other marginalized folk artists.^{[citation needed]} The label released her first album in 1988, which included a song she wrote when she was 11 years old called "Celebrate the Rain".^{[citation needed]} Di Micele has received rave reviews^[1] and has performed at many festivals, benefits, and venues. She has released 16 albums^[2] on her own label and is a part of 5 compilations.^[3]

Many of the themes of her recordings reflect her environmental,^[4] LGBT,^[5] and anti-war interests.^[6]

Her work has been analyzed to advance music therapy,^[7] outdoor education,^[8] and ethnomusicology.^[9]

Di Micele also released a children's album If I Were an Otter: Songs for Kids of All Ages to critical acclaim. Called "a pure delight"^[10] by the roots music journal No Depression, the recording features 13 original and classic folk songs including "City Mouse/Country Mouse", a duet with Vince Herman.

Her song "Chinook Blues" on her Alice Live album provided the backdrop to the video Source to Sea: the Columbia River Swim about the declining native salmon population in the Pacific Northwest ecosystem.

Her fundraising activities throughout her career have involved Open Source and Copyleft underground access to her digitized audio concerts and other works. She remains a composer and activist using the arts to inform audiences of issues related to climate change, including the wild fires devastating the Anglo and Latinx residents on the west coast. She has been involved in fundraising efforts for some of the hardest hit communities. Before the fires, she worked for decades to organize local, national, and international concerts and other community efforts^[11] bringing together artistic, cultural, financial, and other resources to help those in need.^[12]
