While she writes intimate, down-to-earth lyrics, theyβre delivered with a larger-than-life, crystalline voice. βGrowing up I was afraid of it,β she says, about realizing she could sing big as a small child- the sixth in a brood of ten-- in Vancouver. βI thought it would blow me away.β And while at first she might be able to blend into the sea of other fresh-faced, struggling artists on the streets of her current hometown of New York City, sheβs actually an entertainment veteran with fifteen years in the industry and a Gemini Award under her belt.
When Instant Star wrapped after four seasons (2005-2008), Alexz endured her share of off-camera drama in her music career, when both Capitol and Epic, respectively, ended up shelving her records due to internal conflicts . "Itβs been tough,β she says, βbut something always keeps me going. Even with no money in my pocket, things land where they land and you keep moving.β Johnson had completed a full length record entitled Weight in 2008, and was set to release it in September the next year.
Alexz independently released her debut album, Voodoo in 2010 and remixed it in 2011 as Reloaded. She released a compilation of unheard demos in the form of The Basement Recordings (2011), while prepping to release her first EP, Skipping Stone in January 2012. She has also released one live album, Live from the Skipping Stone Tour in December 2012. Johnson later continued to release two more demo compilations, The Basement Recordings 2 and The Basement Recordings 3 in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Finding success and a loyal fanbase through her independent releases, Johnson's 2014 EP, Heart and sophomore album Let 'Em Eat Cake were both funded through the crowdfunding service Pledgemusic. Heart and Let 'Em Eat Cake both showcase a different side of Johnson, tackling subjects such as heartbreak and loss. The two releases include tracks produced by David Kahne, who has worked with Lana Del Rey, Kelly Clarkson, Regina Spektor, and other artists.
