Alexis was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her mother said she never cried but only sang. As a young child, Alexis started writing songs secretly, while openly expressing herself through visual art. Alexis’ parents were both scientists. They noticed her artistic abilities and sent her to The Indianapolis Art League for instruction at a very early age. Her parents also gave her a stereo on Christmas of her 5th year. With undiagnosed dyslexia, the radio became her books. She spent hours upon hours listening to the lyrics while sitting on her floor coloring.
Alexis openly shared her art through her youth into adulthood. She studied under many great artists including her favorite, Frank Covino. She participated in many art shows but continued to keep her music a secret until she was thirty two.
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 Greensboro, North Carolina…. to Atlanta, Georgia…..
In 2008 Alexis released “Let It Go” which was inspired by her love of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, U2, and Atlanta singer songwriter Shawn Mullins. Alexis dedicated “Let It Go” to all the woman of the world searching for, or living their dreams, and all the men that support them.“Let It Go” is a compilation of songs with a flavor of Rock, Alternative, and Indie.
In 2011 Alexis started painting the images she saw in her mind as she wrote songs. For her it is like watching a movie as she writes, and she just picks her favorite images to leave an imprint. Alexis also does many commissions. She is very well know for her dog portraits. Alexis traveled to Europe this summer for a month performing and seeking inspiration. She is about to begin a new series based off of that trip.
Alexis also released a new single in May for Father’s Day called “My Father” that was well received. She is currently in the studio recording songs she is beyond excited to share with you.
