About Me

In 2004 Alexis released her debut album, “Never Give Up”, an acoustic record full of heart and soul that received national airplay on NPR. Internationally her CD sold on 3 continents, including Asia, North America, and Europe. In 2005 Alexis moved from North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia where she has enjoyed a vibrant and supportive music scene. In late 2006 she began working with local Producer Geoff Melkonian who’s past credits include Modern Skirts, Megan Coffee, and YOU just to name a few. Her newest release “Let It Go” was inspired by her love of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, U2, and Atlanta singer songwriter Shawn Mullins. "Let It Go" was released on February 20th, 2008! "Let It Go" is a compilation of songs with a flavor of Rock, Alternative, and Indie, melting in a pot that is sure to simmer your senses and bring you to some kind of an Ecstasy. Alexis hopes you can make it to the CD release party on April 13th, at Eddies Attic! You can buy her music on itunes or cd baby!!!!!!!!! "Love Will Follow You"...
