Having grown up in Houston and Albuquerque, lived and worked in Nashville, toured in nearly 30 countries, and now based in the Los Angeles area, Alexa James' music provides an insight into her soul, her travels and all the wonderful people she encounters along the way.

Her unique guitar-based, driving, catchy, family friendly music offers a welcome escape once you load Alexa James into your Pandora or Spotify stations, your iPods, phones, or CD players with her latest hits.

"I love writing songs about the struggles and frustrations that I face, as well as the celebrations in my life. I like sharing my life with others-especially when I get to write about it and then about it with all my heart, my interesting ways of phrasing things, and while bopping my curly head along with it all. I think it's so important for us all to realize there is a deep hope, love and belonging, that we can all have and experience. And as we walk through life together and share in each others journeys, we experience those things on a more real and deeper level. I feel my music gives me the outlet to do that."

For example in the title track "You Are That To Me," James writes about the sentiment that all of us long to hear "you are perfect in this moment". Knowing you are loved and complete right here, right now. When we come to that realization we are willing to fight to keep it as she sings about in "Better Than Losing You".

YOU ARE THAT TO ME is a self journey that we all must explore. One that will help us to realize that what we are looking for is already around us and that we simply need to embrace it.

 Upon her arrival on the west coast she won HOT AC ARTIST OF THE YEAR in the 2010 Los Angeles Music Awards. "I'm so thrilled to be part of the LA Music Awards! I just moved to LA from Nashville, and have loved the journey so far. This win is like a welcome greeting reaffirming that I'm in the right place."
