"I don't feel sorry for being who I am”, proclaims sharp-tongued singer, guitarist and songwriter, Alexx Calise. Delivering a sound that is both fresh and uniquely her own, Calise combines crunchy rock riffs with probing lyrics and hooky pop melodies. Told throughout most of her career to not play guitar as much or at all, and to pursue a more “proven” musical direction, Calise instead chose to focus even more so on her instrument, practicing some 5-6 hours a day, and follow the only direction she knew how to—her own. Countless film and TV placements and millions of Youtube hits later, Calise has proven that her torchy vocals, impressive guitar chops and heart-and-soul lyrics are enough to make an incredible international impact, even as a completely independent artist. Calise's hit song "Cry"--which became a web phenomenon almost overnight (spawning hundreds of covers, tributes and dance routines) after it appeared on the Lifetime show “Dance Moms”—has gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of downloads independently. Its official video features Sia's muse, and Dance Moms alum, Maddie Ziegler. Ever-growing and ever-changing, the effervescent Calise is continuing to make waves one small step at a time. She has just released an EP with her band, Batfarm with longtime collaborator, Dennis Morehouse. She is also a freelance writer for a variety of publications including Music Connection and Guitar Girl, and an accomplished model, actress and small business owner.
