BIOGRAPHY
Alex grew up on the small Spanish island of Mallorca in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It was her mother’s love of soul and her father’s love of Brazilian and Latin music as well as her eternal love of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men that forever shaped the way she writes and performs music today. At age 17, she decided to leave Spain and focus on studying performing arts in the UK, studying Drama at her boarding school (Ardingly College) and attending extra-curricular courses at the prestigious The London Academy Of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA).
It was whilst studying a 4 year BA Business Studies with E-Commerce degree at the University of Westminster, that she sought a placement within the music industry.

It was during this year, that she started collaborating with Big Brovaz a HipHop/R&B London based production team, and together they made a 3 track demo, which was all they needed to get a record deal.
In 2003, she signed a record deal with EMI UK, which enabled her to write with some of the biggest Pop writer/producers: Stargate (Ne-Yo, Beyoncé & Rihanna), Cutfather & Joe (Ace of Base, Kylie Minogue) & Soulpower (Craig David, Lemar) however her album was never released as there was notably something missing in the puzzle. Nevertheless during that time, she was fortunate enough to co-write and perform on the popular Pop-Dance record: "Shake It (Move A Little Closer)" with Lee-Cabrera (notorious New York production duo Steven Lee and Albert Cabrera erstwhile collaborators with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Brian McKnight and Tori Amos). The single smashed into the Top 20 UK Charts and performed exceedingly well.

She continues to pursue her music and artistry. "...there is nothing like sharing yourself and your most personal work... being an artist is the ultimate accomplishment!"
