She Who Dares Wins

About Me

"A restless path beside a shaky precipice. A work of art hid clean away. All of our yesterday's spent, and no more to gain.......so, do we live our lives in vain?" (Alex Watson)When Alex sings, we at once experience her vulnerability and her strength. She seeks inspiration in the everyday, and strives to emulate the integrity that can be found in a plethora of musicians and singers past and present. When she sings her brand of 'Suburban Blues,' Alex is creating her own identity and carving a place alongside her contemporaries.Born in London, Alex has enjoyed singing from an early age and has been singing on and off professionally since her mid-teens. She has done the rounds about London's popular music scene peforming both as session vocalist, recording artist and with DJ's in the club scene working across a broad spectrum of contemporary musical genres, driven by her love and passion for music.Alex is an attractive, fiery spirit that seeks the balance between euphony and harmony, and rhythm and soul. Her own life experiences have provided her with a kaleidescope of opinions and views that range from personal concerns about the nature of love in relationships, political affairs, social consciousness, struggle and issues of fairness and justice in human relationships. These perspectives fuel her artistic self-expression.
