Additionally, Alyssa's single "Collateral Damage", was produced by Grammy voting member, the first female contributor to Pro-Tools Expert, producer and engineer - Audrey Martinovich. This single was recorded at Audio For The Arts in Madison, Wisconsin. Collateral Damage was born from Alyssa's partnership with Dan Hudson (D.T. Hudson Writing Company / Operation Check Six), to write a song for a female Military Veteran, and trauma survivor. In an effort to highlight women in the music industry, Alyssa hired an all-female musician and production cast (Audrey Martinovich, Jenna Joanis, Jules Quass & Allizon Lenz) on this inspirational power anthem. As a thank you, Dan Hudson at Operation Check Six built a custom guitar for Alyssa. It was inspired by Dean Guitars, and modeled after Dimebag Darrell's guitar from Pantera. It is a direct reflection of Alyssa's personality complete with dark glittery pink paint, featuring all gold hardware, dual humbucker pickups, mahogany body, and maple neck, with custom engraved work dedicated to Alyssa. The guitar was on display in a Museum Exhibit for Operation Check Six for nearly 7 months, at the Hjemkomst Center in Moorehead, Minnesota.
