Every Wednesday in January

Born in the USA in 1984, Alexia has always been surrounded by music. Her mother, an American singer/songwriter, initiated her on blues, jazz and folk, in Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her father, a Brazilian entertainment producer, made Alexia discover and fall in love with the work of Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa and Tom Jobim.

At the age of 7, Alexia moved to Brazil with her father, alternating stays between Rio de Janeiro and Petrópolis, where her father’s family was established. As a teenager, she studied theater and lived in Brazil until the age of 17, when she decided to spend a year in the US. After joining her high school chorus group, Alexia realized that she wanted to pursue music for good. At 18, she went back to Brazil and started a short-lived band with whom she performed at clubs and bars. When she turned 19, Alexia returned to the US and studied classical voice for two years at Plymouth State University.

In 2005, at the age of 21, she decided to go back to Brazil, and was soon invited by producer Sergio Carvalho to record a demo CD. This was when she began taking voice lessons with Felipe Abreu, her vocal coach ever since.

The experience of the demo CD evolved into Alexia’s first solo album, “Astrolábio” (EMI, 2008), produced by musician and songwriter Dadi (former member of Novos Baianos), on which she recorded, amongst other songs, “O Leãozinho” (Caetano Veloso), “Farol da Barra” (Caetano Veloso & Galvão) and “Roxanne” (Sting), besides original material co-written with different songwriting partners.

In 2009, Alexia did the opening act for artists such as Rita Lee and Ney Matogrosso, and performed in international festivals such as SXSW (Texas), MoMA Nights (NYC), Sudoeste and Super Bock Surf Fest (both in Portugal).

In 2010 she toured through 6 cities in Japan and also stepped onto the celebrated Joe’s Pub stage in NYC. In the beginning of 2010, Felipe Abreu and Alexia invited Dé Palmeira to co-produce her new album with Felipe, and started the recordings of “I Just Happen to Be Here”.

Mixed by sound engineer Fabiano França (know for his work on albums such as “Eu Não Peço Desculpas”, by Caetano Veloso & Jorge Mautner and “Ventura”, by Los Hermanos) and mastered in Tokyo by Takayoshi Manabe, the album “I Just Happen to Be Here” is released on Biscoito Fino Records.

In 2013, after performing in New York City's critically acclaimed Brasil Summer Fest (which featured Seu Jorge as a headlining artist), Alexia relocated to NYC, where she has been promoting her album and writing new material for her next musical project.
