1. Thank you very much for your time, Alex! Before we introduce your latest release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend sipping on while they listen?
I love this question! Firstly, thank you for having me. I would have to say a Manhattan because its sweet, strong and literally has a cherry on top.
2. Please give us an update on what’s to come – next single, an album, show dates, new videos?!
I am currently in rehearsals for my New Year’s Eve show at the Hux Hotel in Kensington. It’s going to be a night to celebrate all we, as a collective have accomplished in 2024. I am also extremely excited to announce that as of writing this sentence the mixing process for my EP is now complete. You can be sure to expect its release late January just in time for my birthday!
3.We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which harmless theory would you wish were true?
With me being a huge Marvel fan, I would hope that the multiverse exists as I’d love to find my own Scarlett witch variant.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
I would say Valentino because in some ways its timeless but it’s also eclectic and I appreciate Alessandro Michele’s artistry.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message?
The EP is almost like a documentary of some of the most significant moments in my recent life. Some songs were written in the moment of me going through something, whilst others were written with hindsight and perspective. Listening back to it has been like holding up a mirror to myself – the good, the bad… it’s all in there. It’s really personal, but there’s some universal themes that I think anyone can relate to.
6. Besides music, do you have any special talents?
It’s hard to find the time to cook but I love to cook! My favourite dish would be Tournedos Rossini or an authentic carbonara.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
– I was Michael Jackson in the Thriller Live musical on the West End.
– I prefer to be on a stage rather than being sat in a studio.
– I have my very own Christmas song called Christmas Wish. Available to stream now (King of Christmas status pending)
– I work out to rock, dark pop, and metal music
– I work out to rock, dark pop, and metal music
– My biggest dream is to work with Lady Gaga.
8. The road so far…. who has been your biggest support?
I am so lucky that my support system is more or less the same from the beginning. However, one person does come to mind and that would be my best friend/ co-writer/ manager/ EVERYTHING, Drew Whittam. He is my go-to person. A true ride or die kind of gal. Drew has kept me going even at times of doubt.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls.
