Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Marrero.
Hi Alexis, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I am a 23-year-old pop-rock singer/songwriter from Cleveland, OH. At 16, I began my career as I was recognized on Instagram by a talent scout who connected me to Nashville music producer Shannon McArthur. By the age of 17, I had released my first single, and the rest is history! Most recently, I appeared on “On With Mario Lopez,” played Riptide Music Festival last December, and even performed at the iconic Whisky A Go Go! I also went on tour with the Boys of Summer in 2021 and 2022 as well as performed at Playlist Live 2022. Throughout my career, I spent time blending pop with numerous genres. I’m also a really big storyteller and love to write music that is relatable to people! Over the past year and a half, I began to find myself as an artist more in the pop-rock realm. I grew up on rock music but shifted to pop growing up. Now, I’ve taken to blending pop and rock together to create my sound! That new sound can be heard in my latest single, “Tears Come Fallin’ Down,” out now!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My journey navigating my music career has certainly had its ups and downs. As an artist, some people will promise you the world when they simply cannot make those promises. This is a very common tale for many people, but it can make you want to give up on your career altogether. I’ve lost songs along the way that I loved, dealt with hate, and more. I’ve had numerous struggles and triumphs throughout my career thus far. While it may have been discouraging, nothing worth fighting for is easy, and I wouldn’t trade my experiences for the world. They have all made me a stronger, better artist. Each moment has been a major part of my journey, and I am grateful to be pursuing what I love!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a pop-rock singer/songwriter who loves to blend my pop vocals and melodies with the high-energy musicality of rock! I grew up listening to rock music and felt inspired by its infectious beats and riffs, which drew me to recreate my sound to who I am as an artist today. Throughout my career, I have been known as a big storyteller. I like to write stories from my life or the people around me’s lives. I’ve been known to write deep songs, even at a young age. I love to write music that is relatable to people, and I feel my writing sets me apart from other artists. I think a lot of times in music, songs have no real story or meaning. To me, it’s so important to write from the heart. Even though we may not share the same story, I hope listeners can find their own story in my words and find comfort in knowing they are not alone. As an artist and writer, I am so proud of my ability to create art that is authentic and relatable.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me as an artist is making people feel something with my music. It’s a huge reason I do what I do. The best feeling is when someone tells me my song helped them through a tough time or that they really related to my lyrics. Music is such a healing form of art and has always been an outlet for me. I love to give others an outlet to express themselves through my lyrics. I want people to feel that I am speaking to them in my lyrics, not at them. Whether it’s one of my upbeat pop songs or a heartfelt ballad, I love making people feel something and drawing them into an experience as they listen.
