Alexa Wilkinson's Top Song: Make Me Smile Buy Album

Billboard

I don't like formal Bio's. So if you don't mind I'd like to ramble for a bit.
My last name is Wilkinson. I was born in Cherry Hill, NJ but moved to Park City, Utah when I was 12 years old. I first got into music because of a boy. yes that's right. I was about 10 years old and I had myself a little elementary school boyfriend who was taking trumpet lessons. So I decided I would take them too. sadly for him, I got good really fast and he just kind of stayed bad. So I started playing the trumpet in band. Then I asked my dad for a guitar for my birthday when I was 11, he got me one, and the first song I ever learned was "Hotel California" (which my dad taught me). My family was a huge influence on my love for music. My sister who has always been good at finding awesome music taught me everything I know about alternative music. The first tape I remember buying was Nirvana "Nevermind". Anyway, so by age 12 I had come to love everything from Sublime, to Shawn Colvin, to The Eagles. I realized I could sing around 13 when moving to a new state not only spurred new emotions but talents as well in writing. I started writing poetry and fell in love with free form. One day in the shower I think I started humming a tune and turned a poem into a song. Everything pretty much evolved from that moment when I fell even more in love with song writing.

I think a lot of what makes music great is the story behind the artist. All artists have a shared passion for music, but every single person has a different story and a different experience to share. I love to write music, and help others write through things I've experienced. So if any of you want to know what some songs are about don't hesitate to ask. I open up easy when probed...hmmm ;/ The songs that I sing are meant for you. YOU. whatever you feel, or whatever goes through your head when you listen is what it's about.
