[edit] Biography
When Alexa was 13, she wrote her first song. The following year, she started making her own demos. The first track she recorded was called "Colours of the Rainbow", which she describes it as a "really fun song" though it won't ever be played for anyone.
When Alexa was in Year 11 of high school, she released her debut single, "Always There". The song was also selected to be the soundtrack to Channel Seven’s Home and Away promos during the 2004 Olympics. This provided valuable promotion for Alexa, with many viewers wanting to know more about the song. This was very rewarding for her as the song meant alot to her.
As Alexa was finishing Year 12, she released her second single, "My Day Will Come". A song about seizing the moment, it was another Top 30 hit.
Kate was happy when she graduated, although she knew the importance of finishing school. On her 18th birthday she released her third single, "All I Hear". As she celebrated, she found out she had glandular fever. Because of this, Kate was unable to do much promotion for "All I Hear". But the song soared into the Australian Top 10. For this she was grateful.
On 23 September 2006, Alexa's debut album, Broken & Beautiful was release. She describes the album as a reflection of her life and journey over the past few years. She claims that everything is true.
Currently, Kate has been receiving numerous support from MTV Australia as many of her music videos such as "Better Than You", "Somebody Out There" have been receiving airplay through breaks and on music shows.
