Alexandra Ivan
My name is Alexandra Ivan and I live in Romania. I started writing songs and performing at the age of 12; then I recorded my first songs in a local studio and filmed a video that was quite succesful in the area (Oradea - West of Romania).
A few things about me: I write my own songs but still, I can't read notes, don't play any instruments and I have nothing to do with musical theory. Everything I do, musically, is based on feeling, it's raw, it comes straight from the heart - "no strings attached".
Three years ago I moved to Bucharest and since then I have been struggling to get a record deal, which is not very easy right now for a pop-rock singer. Pop-rock is not considered to be "commercial".
I have also been working as a composer/lyricist for some well-known Romanian artists like Foisorul de Foc or Etnic.
I will hopefully be able to concentrate more on my solo album in the near future. The songs are already written and they are waiting to be recorded...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love being on stage, there is absolutely no feeling that can compare to that! I have been performing for audiences since I was 14 so I am used to it and I enjoy it tremendously.
Plus, I never lip-synch. I am dedicated to performing 100% live.
I can't wait for my debut album to be ready so that I can get back on stage!
