Alexa Lopez
About
Alexa Lopez is a 22 year old emerging Singer and Songwriter, who loves to work out of the box. Her music can generally be described as Indie-Pop with Subgenre-Crossing, f.e: R&B, Soul, Jazz, Latin, Rap and Rock. The sound of her voice is purple: Warm and Cold at the same time. Her singing is inspired by Alicia Keys, Jhene Aiko, Ariana Grande and Panic! At the disco while Artists like Halsey, Raye and Silvana Estrada shape her songwriting immensely. Alexas Motto „Normalize Authenticity” & „Softness Is Strong” highlights the significance of Honesty, Vulnerability and Liberation in her work. Next to Diversity, they probably are Alexas most characteristic traits: „If you TRULY wanna get to know me…listen to my music.”
how it all started
First Releases
When Alexa turns 16 the young Rapper Prince Taylor asks her to be on his EP. She records her Chorus in “DON´T WAKE ME UP” and falls in love with the recording process. Obviously, the next step was: record your own Song! One year later Alexas six-minute-long debut Single „Thoughts” is released and is her most streamed track until this day. When Alexa graduates in 2021 nothing stands in her way: Recording in various Studios (f.e. Society 77) during the day & performing at Night becomes her routine. She gets invited to play at various Events like f.e Cultiva Hanf Expo 2021. She also releases her 2nd Single “Twin Flame”, including a first self-made Music Video.
radio debut & Live Session
During an Open Mic Sky Studio owner Phil approaches and invites her to sing at his Live Session and Broadcast for Radio Orange. She plays a Set of 6 self-written and composed Songs, 3 of them in company of the Band Laute Leute. On the 11th of April 2022 Alexa debuts on Radio.
debut eP "breakup Breakdown Breakthrough"
At the end of 2021 Alexa goes through a though breakup and once again: transforms her pain into art. Writing Song after Song, a short conceptual Album of 6 Songs is created, that sticks to the 5 Stages of Grief with each track. The 24th of February 2023 her EP „breakup breakdown breakthrough” debuts.
The EP starts with a Poem-Introduction and contains various Genres f.e.: a groovy jazzy Sound with a Swing Bridge in „Energy & Time„, a Spanglish R&B Song with a Rap-Intro in „Leave My Head” and a Rock-Ballad with Time-Signature Change in „Just Me Now„. Additionally, every Songs gets a professionally shot Music Video dedicated. The Videos chronologically make you travel through the various emotions of the breakup and make the whole Story close in itself.
The response to the EP, particularly the Single & Music Video-Release of „Leave My Head”, is huge! The Magazine TON AN! publishes her debut Article, and Miss Magazine invites her to play for them at MissSoundZimmer. The EP also draws attention to Wiener Neustadt TV, a TV station where Local upcoming Musicians are being presented. She performs a set of 3 Songs and gives her first Interview on screen. On the 24th of April 2023 Alexa debuts on national TV.

Alexa in Madrid
In February 2024, 2 days before moving to Madrid, Alexa plays her very last „breakup-breakdown-breakthrough”. The date being exactly the anniversary of the EP-Release, the Show was sold out. With her FLINTA Band, Music-Video-Projections and synchronized Live-Playing with In-Ear-Monitoring, many of Alexas creative dreams come true in one night.
Living in Madrid opens many musical doors for Alexa, such as studying Flamenco and playing Concerts at important Locations like Cafe Berlin. Being far away from everything and everyone she knows, she starts using her free time to learn new things: Alexa produces a whole EP on her own and releases it the 12th of July 2024. She plays a Release Concert at GENERATOR MADRID. With „Love, Death + Music” a new Musical Era begins.
