Alexa Wilkinson

About Alexa:

ALEXA WILKINSON is more than meets the eye. Her pretty, girl-next-door face on a petite 5-foot 4-inch frame suggests nothing of the emotional maturity displayed in her debut album "Lullaby Appetite," now available on iTunes and scheduled for public release this June through DNK Records. Alexa's evolution into a musical artist originated from common childhood experiences.

Having taken up music at the age of 10, Wilkinson is a formidable talent in a small (and young) package. Her fresh, smooth vocals slide easily around the extremely hummable melodies, toe-tapping rhythms and sprite guitar playing. The lyrics are rich with expression, exposing a vulnerability and honesty but without naïvete. Rather there is an emotional maturity of looking at life with an optimistic eye, learning from one's mistakes, and moving on.

Album Info:
Wilkinson's album, Lullaby Appetite, consists of 11 pop-rock songs infused with a bit of a southern blues feel. Penned and performed by Wilkinson herself, these songs represent her own personal journey through life, love, acceptance, and lessons learned. Her fresh, smooth vocals slide easily around the extremely memorable melodies, toe-tapping rhythms and sprite guitar playing. The lyrics are rich with expression, exposing a vulnerability and honesty without naïvete. Rather there is an emotional maturity of looking at life with an optimistic eye, accepting one's mistakes, and moving on.
Musical Background:

"I think a lot of what makes music great is the story behind the artist. All artists have a shared passion for music, but every single person has a different story and a different experience to share" - Alexa Wilkinson

"... Anyway, so by age 12, I had come to love everything from Sublime, to Shawn Colvin, to The Eagles. I realized I could sing around 13 when moving to a new state not only spurred new emotions but talents as well in writing. I started writing poetry and fell in love with free form. One day in the shower I think I started humming a tune and turned a poem into a song. Everything pretty much evolved from that moment when I fell even more in love with song writing." - Alexa Wilkinson

From the jazz inspired "Sad Eyed Annabelle, to the upbeat and edgy "Good Fight," Alexa's songs center around love and relationships, something which everyone can relate to. In "Sad Eyed Annabelle," Alexa portrays an unhealthy relationship where the girl is manipulating the boy, whereas "Good Fight" reveals Wilkinson's more playful side, such as picking a fight in relationship. Fan favorite and Alexa's first single, "Of Graves" depicts a young woman reminiscing about a past lover, while "Lullaby Appetite" talks about a long-distance friendship.

Josh Kelley, an accomplished singer-songwriter promoting his third album on this tour, took notice of Alexa's talent and by July of 2006, had collaborated on and produced five of her songs. Other collaborators with Alexa include Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Paul McCartney, and Grammy winner John Mayer), David Thoener (Matchbox 20, Faith Hill, and Santana), and Greg Calbi (John Lennon, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and Lenny Kravitz).

Kelley said, " "I was immediately impressed with Alexa's music-she is an extremely talented singer and songwriter whose unique sound will no doubt propel her to the top. She's got such a natural, easygoing style to her music that anyone from all ages can relate to. "
