Alexya is “Sick of Love Songs”

Alexya is LA’s new bubbling electro-pop artist that the music scene has been craving. With her pop punk princess attitude, nothing can hold this Latina back and you can see that fire when she performs on stage. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Alexya is a singer dancer who started performing at the age 0f 3. Just one evening of watching Janet Jackson’s live concert video with her parents at the age of 5, ignited a life long journey in the music industry. Alexya became a professional dancer at the young age of 13, having been one of the main principals in a ballet company, back up danced for many pop artists, and even started choreographing for her friends who were singers.

 

While she was taking a dance class at her dance studio in the San Fernando Valley, a manager spotted her talent and asked her to join Master P’s girl group, The Fabulous Girls. Not yet a singer, it was discovered that she can sing “whistle register” like Mariah Carey and lower tones like Toney Braxton. From there her musical journey as a recording artist began. As a member of the Fabulous Girls, she toured with many Disney artists, began song writing, and learning more about the process of recording arts that would later be her foundation as a solo recording artist. Now, Alexya is on the rise as a solo artist, with her latest release “Sick of Love Songs”.

 

“Sick of Love Songs” is a mid-tempo beat, melancholic track about being sick of being in love. When do you stay? When should you go? As we listened, we were drawn in by the synth chords, and production overall. The song overall is an inspiration for all those in a relationship that they aren’t sure if it’s right for them. Check out the amazing animated video below.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
