About Me

Hey, I'm Alexis. I was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania (Punxsutawney). I packed my bags and moved to Murfreesboro about 3 years ago to get my butt closer to Nashville--but I don't write only country music! I create all kinds of noise. I'm doing what I've wanted to do since I was 6 years old and I absolutely love it -- wouldn't change a thing (well, I'm sure I'll change my job...). ANYWAY, this Myspace page is for acoustic versions and demos of my songs. Honestly, I'm singing into a built-in microphone on my computer for the most part. BUT they are songs nonetheless. Check out my actual website or my other Myspace page to hear full projects I'm working on. It changes a lot!
I like art and I've got a pretty strong interest in social issues. I think that MIGHT show in my music. ;-) So, feel free to send me a message on here--it may take a while to get back to ya, but I WILL. I promise.
