AGE: 20
LOCATION: NORTH LONDON
JOB: SINGER
Alexandra has four brothers and a sister and lives with her mum (ex Soul to Soul singer) in North London.
Alexandra started singing at the age of 5 yrs old and when she was 9 yrs old she was passed the microphone at one of her mother’s gigs. Everyone loved her and from that moment onwards she was hooked on performing. At the age of 12 years Alexandra entered Star for a Night. She was the youngest person in the competition and was beaten to first place by Joss Stone.
Alexandra used to be in the school choir and when she left school, she tried to pursue a career in music. In 2005, Alexandra’s auditioned for The X Factor and got through to the Judges Homes stage. However, Louis Walsh decided she was too young and her X Factor journey ended.
Alex has had no professional vocal training and learnt to sing from her mother and CD’s. Recently she went on tour with Young Voices, a charity that raises money for children with Leukaemia, with them she has performed at The Royal Albert Hall, Dublin Point Theatre and the MEN Arena.
Alexandra feels she is not getting where she wants to with her music career at the moment and is hoping her second chance at X Factor stardom will give her career the lift she so desperately wants.

J.L.S. have done nothing to empress me the last couple of weeks. As nice boys as they seem, they seem to have got a bit complacement. I would not watch a programe that they would be in. Alex although she is good, has nothing special than any other soul type singer. The only one who really stands out with a different arrangement is diana. I don't recall anyone who has a voice arrangement than hers, i look forward to buying a c.d of hers and watching her perform. I do hope that Rachel will get a recording contract. She has got such a strong voice, I would, like a lot of people would buy her arrangement of the song that she sung for her survival last Saturday.
