About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)..More than an accomplished jazz vocalist with a silken voice, Alexia Gardner is a true entertainer... (That's Shanghai, April 2006)With over a decade of tours and concerts in South East Asia Alexia Gardner has recently returned to Europe. She is now resident in Basel, Switzerland and is ready to share her soft, mellow and distinctive voice with her audience here. Her recent Live recordings in Hongkong and Shanghai showcase her rapport with the audience and her command of the stage.This British Singer with Jamaican Roots began her career touring the British Cabaret Circuit in England and Wales. She toured with her gifted sister - Paula Gardner - as a sophisticated, accapella duo and got much acclaim for their wonderfully harmonic voices.Alexia soon began a solo career that took her across the Mediterranean on luxury Cruise Liners as well as the luxury hotel groups in Asia. Part of her addictiveness stems from her Jamaican parentage where she is able to incorporate everything from Standard Jazz Classics, Latin grooves, a touch of Reggae vibes, soft Bossa Nova styles to gentle, familiar ballads.Alexia has two live albums available for your enjoyment. ..The Rest Of Your Life.. recorded in 2001 at the ..Jazz Club.. in Hongkong and the suitably entitled ..Jammin' Alexia Gardner Live In Shanghai.. This second album was released in January 2006 and one of the reviews were: -'This is one of the strongest jazz Vocal CDs I've heard in a long time. Alexia Gardner comes across in the tradition of Sarah, Ella and Nancy but with her own uniqueness. A wonderful singer with a wonderful rhythm section!..(Phil Morrison, bassist, composer, lyricist August 2006)..
