About Me

A proud native of Atlanta, Alexandra began appreciating music before she could write her own name. At the age of four, Alexandra began what would become ten years of piano lessons. While in high school, she was a soloist with Wynton Marsalis at Lincoln Center after her school placed third in the nation-wide jazz band competition, Essentially Ellington. Alexandra is a recent graduate of University of Miami’s prestigious Studio Music and Jazz Vocal program. In October, she sang back up for Gloria Estefan in the opening gala for the Carnival Center for Performing Arts in Miami. Alexandra just recently finished performing in the Florida Grand Opera’s production of AIDA. She is happy to have returned home to Atlanta, and is currently recording her first album, "FOR YOU", under Next Wave Records and will be released later this year. Look out for the first single, "STAND" coming soon!!
