Avant Pop Singer Debuts At SXSW With Three Showcases


Alexis Foxe will appear at Austin's SXSW Festival at Malverde at 8PM on March 16th and on March 17th at the Hilton and Hyatt Second Play Stages at 6PM and 7PM, respectively.

Alexis Foxe is a pop singer hailing from New York City by way of Argentina and Spain. Of Cuban and Colombian descent, the visual, provocative, and humorous Foxe tickles nostalgia with the feather of futurism much like Goldfrapp, and is sultry and occasionally dangerous in the way of Amy Winehouse.

Alexis' debut album, Lady Be Bad, was touched by the production genius of Richard Niles (Paul McCartney, Ray Charles, Tina Turner), and executive producer Russ Titelman (James Taylor, George Harrison, The Bee Gees, Chaka Khan) gave expert guidance to the sophomore To Have and Want More. The experience and wisdom of these legends were an ideal complement to Alexis' unimpeachable vision and her primary creative partnership with producer/songwriter Gary Schreiner, and their combined efforts coaxed the artist’s sensual, humorous, dreamy style into being.

Singing entered the picture a bit later for Alexis than most. Having played piano since age 7, it was not until a recording session at age 20 where she was the only one on hand to sing the vocals on a track that she simply did a job and discovered her voice. In her voice, she found the conduit for her lyrics, which are her unabashed musical love. Notable tracks include "Cynic," "Grand Macadamias," "No Ticky No Shirty," "Manhattan May Be Grand," "Braindead," and "Revel Without a Cause."

Registrants of SXSW can tracks in full from SXSW Virtual Swag. Others are invited to preview her album at alexisfoxe.com/music/.
