Alexa Goddard

Alexa Goddard is a British pop and R&B singer from southern England. She grows up in a family with three older brothers and starts performing in local talent shows and karaoke contests, later describing live performance as the best feeling in the world.

Early work and touring

At 14, she travels across Europe recording early demos. After winning a talent contest at a seaside holiday camp, she continues recording sessions across Europe. Her MySpace profile later attracts the attention of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, who invite her to audition for a forthcoming tour. She then performs for large audiences across the east coast of the United States before deciding to focus on her own music.

Online profile and recordings

Goddard builds a large online following through YouTube, where her videos attract substantial attention and make her one of the most subscribed musicians in UK YouTube history. One of her covers reaches the UK Top 20 when she releases her version independently, and she also has a Top 20 single to her name. Her online work and early releases establish her as an artist with pop and R&B appeal, as well as an electronic and soul-leaning style.

Debut album and collaborators

Her debut album is recorded in Los Angeles and New York. It includes collaborations with Stargate, Ester Dean and Chris Brown. The album includes the tracks “So There”, “Who Needs Perfect” and “Stay Pretty”.

Career background

By 18, she tours the United States. By 22, she has over 40 million views on YouTube in the UK and has already established a significant online presence. Her career develops from early demo recording and live work into a recording path shaped by independent releases, collaborations with established writers and producers, and a strong emphasis on self-written material.
