Artist Up Next: Alexa

How would you describe your sound or artistic style to someone hearing you for the first time?


My sound is a blend of groove-driven House, Hous tech with some afro elements, and melodic textures. It’s very much about creating a journey, building tension, releasing energy, and shaping an atmosphere that feels immersive and emotional, not just rhythmic!My goal is for both the mind and body of the audience to travel and be moved, physically and emotionally, through the experience.

When did you first realize you wanted to pursue music seriously?


I always had a strong connection with music. From the age of three, I started classical piano lessons, and by the age of ten, I was already writing my first songs. After graduating from the University in Musicology, it became clear to me that music would always be a fundamental part of my life.


Who or what are your biggest influences, both musically and outside of music?


I grew up in a musical environment, which naturally shaped the way I listen to and understand music from an early age.Beyond that, my influences come from everyday life, travel, different cultures, human connection, and those raw, unfiltered moments that carry real emotion. All of these elements find their way into my sound and the way I shape a journey.


How does your personal life or background shape your creative process?

Living between different places and cultures has shaped my sound a lot. It’s influenced the organic, ethnic, and emotional elements in my music and how I approach building a set as a journey.


Can you walk us through your creative process from idea to finished project?


It usually starts with a feeling or a groove. Many times, the process begins at the piano, as I believe the melodic element is the first thing that truly touches someone. From there, I build the right groove to support and elevate that emotion.I then layer sounds, experimenting with synths, vocals, and textures until a full atmosphere is created. Finally, I refine everything with the live experience in mind, always thinking about how it will translate and connect with the audience in a set.


What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far as an emerging artist?


Finding balance,between creating, performing, and pushing forward consistently, while staying true to my identity and not getting lost in trends.At the same time, any obstacles that come my way, I choose to see them as opportunities for growth and evolution, both as an artist and as a person.


What moment in your journey made you feel like this could really become something big?


When I started seeing real reactions from the crowd—people connecting, dancing, and fully feeling the set—that’s when I realized this could grow into something meaningful. At the same time, developing my hybrid live set with Korg synthesizers, vocals, and DJing felt like a turning point. I believed it truly represented me and could be an interesting contribution to electronic music, but I could only confirm that once I experienced it live in front of an audience, and when I did, the response made it clear I was on the right path.

How do you balance staying authentic while also thinking about growth and visibility?

I always start from what feels real to me. Growth follows when the connection is genuine, so I focus on building something honest rather than chasing attention.

What themes or emotions do you find yourself returning to in your work?


Connection, movement, tension and release, and that feeling of being part of something bigger, almost a spiritual or collective experience. I’m also drawn to the quieter moments before the tension builds, where emotion feels more exposed; sometimes even sadness can lead to the creation of the most beautiful and honest melodies. 

What sets you apart from other artists coming up right now?


My hybrid approach, combining DJing with live synthesizers, edits, and vocals, alongside my own productions. It creates a more personal and evolving performance each time.


Is there a song, project, or piece of work that feels especially personal to you? Why?


My original tracks feel the most personal, especially when I integrate them into my sets. They represent my sound and identity in a very direct way!
What have you learned about yourself since starting to share your work publicly?I’ve learned to trust my instinct more and to be confident in my sound. The more I share, the more I understand what truly represents me.

If you could collaborate with any artist right now, who would it be and why?

Someone who blends tech and electronic elements in a deep way, artists who focus on atmosphere and storytelling as much as the groove, because that’s where I feel most connected creatively.


What can listeners or viewers expect from your upcoming releases?


Listeners can expect more electronic music with tech and melodic influences, combined with my signature groove and live elements. I aim to bring fresh ideas into my sound, along with familiar elements reimagined with a new energy and form.It’s music that speaks both to the soul and the body, just as I approach my sets, blending emotion with rhythm. Whether you’re in your car or at a festival, the goal is to create a feeling that moves you and a groove that truly shakes you!
