Lending her soulful sound and passionate songwriting style to both film and TV (Disney’s So Weird, Instant Star, Pretty Little Liars, Blue on HULU), Alexz has garnered a massive and loyal international fan following. After a 4 season run portraying musician Jude Harrison (lead) on The N’s hit TV show Instant Star, Alexz dove straight into focusing on her music and touring career, raising $67k through Kickstarter to fund the release of her Skipping Stone EP, as well as her first sold out American tour. In '14, Alexz’s fan base again showed overwhelming support and raised $60k on PledgeMusic to help fund her album Let ‘Em Eat Cake, produced by David Kahne (Lana Del Rey, Regina Spector) which become a winner in the International Songwriting Competition for best music video, Ruthless Love. Today, Alexz is gearing up for the release of her much anticipated 5th studio album Seasons, out April 7th, which has been fuelled and funded entirely by her thriving Patreon community. Seasons was written and recorded remotely at Alexz’s home studio during the pandemic, enlisting Australian duo Paul Beard and James Lewis (DISRUPTIVE ENTERTAINMENT), on production and mixing. Alexz continues to work independently in both music and film, holding true to her sound and vision as an artist, and is looking forward to her US and EU/UK tour dates set for spring of ’23. **About Big Benny Bailey** https://linktr.ee/bigbennybailey **About Wax Owls** https://linktr.ee/waxowls Blending indie-folk with elements of rock and country, Los Angeles-based band Wax Owls formed when friends Chris Tsaganeas and Gerry Hirschfeld quit their jobs...as lawyers!...to pursue their dreams and passions. Their music is for fans of The Lumineers, Bon Iver, Zach Bryan, The Shins and Mumford & Sons. Gearing up to release their deeply personal debut EP this August, Wax Owls explores themes of resilience, self-discovery and finding light in the darkest of times. For Hirschfeld, the impetus was tragically losing a professional mentor to suicide after the immense pressures of a high-stakes legal career. “We don’t want to look back and regret not having the time to do the things we love.” Wax Owls’ music has been featured on notable publications including Paste, American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine, Under The Radar, Earmilk, Buzzbands, and Variance.
