About Alexis

A Chicago-born newcomer to the New York City music scene, Alexis Booth boasts a booming, soulful voice and a disarming Midwestern smile and charm that truly captivate.

The daughter of a professional singer and granddaughter of a pianist/comedian who headlined for a 1930s big band, Alexis was born with a rare combination of an honest voice and a natural flair for performing. Her songs run the gamut of emotions, from playful to sweet to melancholy, and her live performances are sure to take a listener through a journey of feeling.

Audiences often compare Alexis's sound to that of Norah Jones, which comes as no surprise - Alexis was awarded the same prestigious "Best Jazz Vocal Soloist" award that was bestowed upon Jones the previous year by prominent jazz publication Downbeat Magazine. Alexis herself alludes to influences by greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan.
