My number one influence in everything I do has always been God. Musically, I've always loved Linda Ronstadt, Trisha Yearwood, Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Martina McBride, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins, Fleetwood Mac, Anne Murray and Alison Krauss ~ to name a few!

Alexandra's debut album "I'm Overcome" is a joyous and heartfelt expression of gratitude to God for his abundant blessings throughout her life. A Southern California native, Alexandra grew up in a close-knit family with deep rooted faith. Always musical, Alexandra participated in school choirs, talent shows and enjoyed piano, guitar and vocal lessons. Among her earliest musical memories is when she and her mother took piano lessons together when she was just in the first grade. Alexandra's musical journey continued as she explored the Los Angeles music scene where she honed her skills as a demo/studio singer, sang with some local bands and performed in vocal showcases.
It wasn't until she discovered the craft of songwriting that she was able to truly express herself through music. Studying with veteran songwriting coach David "Cat" Cohen, Alexandra embraced songwriting, an art form that allowed her to meld her strong writing background with her spirituality and love of music. Initially unsure of what direction her songwriting would take and with a natural folk/pop/country vocal sound, she started writing and recording an original country-pop album. As she began working on the project, however; she wasn't finding inspiration from secular themes, but rather from her Christian faith. About the same time, she met her husband, Bryan, in church choir. Bryan, also a musician, became her musical and life partner. With his help, she finished her album project.
Alexandra knows today that it was the grace of God that ultimately led her to write and record a Contemporary Christian album. It may not have been a direct path, but all of the pieces fell into place...according to His plan.
The album is an eclectic mix of country, americana, pop, gospel and contemporary Christian songs. With its soothing melodies and prayerful lyrics, it is Alexandra's hope that the songs inspire listeners to greater faith, love and communion with God.

Grandpa John, the subject of my song, "Grandpa", joined the angels in heaven last night at 5pm surrounded by family. We were saying the Rosary when he took his last breath. He truly was our angel here on earth and would have turned 89 on July 27th....

In 2007, I wrote "In This Place" for a hospital chapel dedication. I prayed for inspiration and the song all but wrote itself. This song holds a very special place in my heart. I hope you enjoy it!

This song was written in 2005, but the final recording wasn't completed until Christmas 2008! God had other plans for me these past 3 years. Life has been full of ups and downs, but I'm joyfully awaiting Christ's birth and am grateful to have finis...

Hi Alexandra, Long time no hear. It said you posted a message but I never saw what it said. I hardly get on here anymore, only when someone posts me a message. Hope all is well with you and it sounds like it is with the new album and all. Don't you just hate this weather we are having here in the OC? Can't wait til the sun comes out and stay out.
Blessings,
I'm going to a women's retreat with my church this weekend, should be a restful and joy filled time. Kathi
