Alexa Barchini is a jazz vocalist and songwriter based in New York City. Raised in a culturally diverse family and the daughter of an opera singer, Alexa began singing as a young girl, fusing her voice with the cultural tapestry that surrounded her at home, savoring the folk, Americana and rock that was circulating the hard drives of her friends at school, and soaking in the jazz tradition from any Ella Fitzgerald records she could get from her band teacher. Somewhere along the line she caught the proverbial ‘bug,’ and has since gone on to study and perform in various settings. Her work as a bandleader and sideman has taken her on tours both within the U.S. and in Europe. She can be found regularly performing as a sideman around NYC as well as with her own projects.
