Alexandra Avoli, a Bexley High School graduate, is a freshman in college at LSU, where she is a student in the Ogden Honors college. She was drawn to LSU for the many opportunities in music, to include taking a songwriting course taught by a Grammy award winning artist, collaborating with other student musicians, and recording many of her new original songs she has written during her short time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Alexandra began writing her own music and performing locally at a very young age. Her talent was discovered at the age of eight at the Cassingham Elementary talent show where she sang a Bruno Mars song “a cappella” in front of her entire school. When she was nine, she won the “National Singing Star” competition for her age group. One of the best opportunities to come out of winning this competition was winning the chance to record professionally with local producer Felix Weber, whose claim to fame is having worked with Chaka Khan back in the 1980’s. Felix is a talented musician and producer, and is also a concert pianist. He has accompanied Alexandra on several of her recent originals that she has recorded in his studio in Marysville, Ohio.
