— born, raised, and now based back in New York, Alexa also spent time honing her craft in Nashville and Los Angeles, where she solidified her passion for songwriting.

Inspired early on by powerful female voices like Taylor Swift, Alexa has been writing as long as she can remember. She’s committed to sharing her most authentic voice, even through the times that this feels intimidating: “I peel back layers until I’m ready to share things other people would never let see the sun,” she says.

Somewhere between the emotional vulnerability of Gracie Abrams and attention-demanding energy of Tate McRae lies Alexa Kate, whose latest single, “Delusional,” precedes her debut EP. Speaking about the track, she reveals, “This song is specifically about reclaiming your power — even if you have to pretend like you have it all together to do so. Go and embrace the beauty of that imperfection.”

Alexa Kate has built a passionate and engaged audience through social media over the last few years, and she hosts TikTok Lives almost daily — but at the end of the day, she feels that nothing can replace the energy of being in the same room with an audience singing your lyrics back to you. Get ready to be swept into her vivid, enthralling brand of heartache-pop; she knows this is what she was born to do.
