The artist, born in Miami, grew up in Orlando, Florida with her Nicaraguan mother and American father, both of whom were constantly blending the styles and genres of music of both backgrounds. Growing up in such an environment, GALXARA took an interest in music early on. She began singing as soon as she could speak and took up piano at age seven, compelled by the way a song could stir emotion and transform the mood.
After many years of competing in small local talent competitions, GALXARA finally caught the eye on an A&R at Atlantic Records. As she recalls, she had only been writing original songs for about a year prior to that and realized very quickly the major importance of being a songwriter and having the ability to write your own music.
Since signing with Atlantic Records in 2015, GALXARA, who now lives in Los Angeles with her family, has been writing and recording songs for her debut album. She wants to create music that surges with confidence, that tells the listeners to be themselves no matter what. Her songs are bold because she herself is bold, as you can hear on her first single “Waste My Youth” .The song, co-written with Warren “Oak” Felder (Alessia Cara, Rihanna, Demi Lovato), and up & coming pop writer Michael Pollack (Kelly Clarkson, Lauv, Lizzo) brings in grand, theatrical pop melodies and a massive, sing-along chorus.
For GALXARA, who became obsessed with Freddie Mercury’s lyrics and songwriting, the single is about being carefree while you still can. The soaring track recalls the classic sounds of Queen and David Bowie, as well as the newer edgy pop of Lorde and Lady Gaga. “I often try to remind myself that I won’t be this young forever,” the singer notes. “It’s such a cliché, but you really are only young once, so whatever or whoever you choose to waste your youth on, do it with no fear. Have no regrets. Don’t waste time on things that are petty or negative. Be happy and appreciate the love and life around you. People will always have assumptions, but “Waste My Youth” isn’t about me spending my time on any one specific person, it’s about every moment I’ve spent and will one day spend feeling unregretfully fearless.”
“Waste My Youth” is a hint of what’s to come from GALXARA, an artist who brings with her an interest in all things celestial, futuristic and vast. She’s interested in unanswerable questions and the possibilities of something limitless. But ultimately GALXARA is a young woman who delivers everything straight from the heart. “Although GALXARA is fantastical, she’s still me,” the singer says. “She’s not a character. Instead, she’s the person I choose to be.”
