Lex Land

Lex Land (nee Alexa, after Prince's "Parade" B-Side "Alexa de Paris") was brought to life on a Thursday Christmas evening at 9:01 pm in the late eighties to a cosmetologist/karaoke-queen mother and a microbiologist/punk-rocker father in Orange County, California. Throughout the fairly transient beginning of her life she discovered that music suited her talents and passions better than any other hobby or art. The opportunity to appreciate or share the ephemeral beauty of a singular moment, to express the overwhelming inexpressible- singing and songwriting, and her love for choral and chamber music, were the perfect conduits for her sensationalistic impulsion and consuming emotional intensity.

While always interested in fine art and music, Land began her technical study of voice as an adolescent and pursued it through a short stint at University. Whether fortunately or unfortunately, that aforementioned "emotional intensity" can often turn sour, and before long the singer's depression held fast its grasp and she abashedly quit school. That same sadness, on the other hand, produced many songs which procured her a deal with independent label Intelligent Noise Records, headed by producer Shannon Edgar who discovered other young saplings such as Joshua James and Rick Alvin Schaier ("Alvin Band").
