ALEXA’S SINGING JOURNEY

The 21-year-old started singing when she was just 16 years old. She was encouraged to pursue singing professionally by her music teacher.

“Only one month later, Alexa received a scholarship to the New York Film Academy, where she was able to further her knowledge in the arts. Thereafter, she started entering competitions, and went on to achieve over 14 Diploma awards,” reads the released statement.

In 2019, Alexa received the South African Colours in performing arts, and won 3 Gold Medals. This catapulted her into the international scene as she qualified for the World Championship in Performing Arts, when she then received her Protea colours and Green Blazer.

After becoming a finalist in the worldwide championship that took take in Los Angeles, California, she started receiving a large amount of international attention and offers from agencies and talent managers alike, which she turned down in order to finish her schooling.
