Tania Alexandra woke up one morning to see a piano taking up most
of her bedroom. She was nine, and that piano became her diary.
Immersed in the performing arts and her fatherâs eclectic
tastes, she counts The Muppets, Igor Stravinsky, John Coltrane,
Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson and Joni Mitchell among her earliest
influences. Born and raised amid the beauty of the Colorado mountains,
she honed her songwriting in secret while studying music education
at Ithaca College, only revealing herself after moving to Philadelphia
in 1998.
After recording her debut album Chrysalis, Tania infused herself
into the arts community as a singer-songwriter, music and movement
teacher, session vocalist and vocal arranger. Her new release Emergence
represents both a milestone in her songcraft and a culmination of
her experiences as an artist in Philadelphia.
Propelled to spread creative energy like a colorful weed, Tania
Alexandra muses her listeners. Her passionate voice weaves through
piano driven primal grooves creating a collage filled with poetic
lyrics and engaging melodies. Tania's songs are edgy, evocative,
and subtly complex. Some haunting, some playful, some reflective,
some bold - her music explores her journey into the connections
and emotions in life through generations and over time between people,
nature, and love.
