A More Personal Statement

Listen, I’m not going to get you all psyched up by a bunch of hype. It's not going to do a damn thing to tell you about who I am. So let me try something a little different here.

Hello. My name is Alexis Booth. I write music, and I sing.

Since I can remember as a child, I have had music gushing through my veins. Anytime I have a really strong emotion – sad, distressed, angry, lonely, elated – I sing myself through the experience. I sing in my own words, in my own voice, about exactly what I’m feeling, about the madness that’s going through my mind at a particular moment in time.

Bit by bit, I’m gaining converts. I sing a lot in places you won’t find me unless chance is in the mood that day. I perform in a lot of people’s living rooms and backyards, and at open mics. I like the intimacy of small spaces where I feel like I can envelop a room in the emotions I'm singing about.

I don’t have a "schtick" or a lot of propaganda to sell you on; all I have is the raw me. I make people laugh, and I make people cry. Simply put, I make people feel.

To me, music is about bottling a moment in time in a way that somebody else can experience it again and again. And that is what I aim to do. I wrote and sing my songs from my own experiences, and you will listen through yours. If I somehow manage to touch you as a person, that's what's memorable. And that's what I aspire to do with my music.

At worst, I hope you leave here - or a performance of mine - at least a little more aware of yourself and your ability to feel than you were before. To me, that’s what my music - and my life - is all about.

At best, maybe I'll make a convert out of you.

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out.
