The 23-year-old from Telford will be performing her blues/soul infested tracks at the Light House in Wolverhampton.

Her latest release Hullabaloo has recently featured on BBC Radio 2, although her greatest feat remains supporting James Blunt.

Alexandra recalls the 2014 gig at Birmingham's NIA as part of the Moon Landing tour in front of 5,000 people as strange.

"The soundcheck was the most terrifying part, I remember looking up and seeing how huge it was and doing the 'one, two' check and hearing it echo and bounce around this huge arena.

"During the actual performance it was quite dark and there was spotlight on me so I couldn't actually see the audience, so I just got into my own little world and relaxed, it was over in a flash.

"I got to meet James Blunt, which was quite surreal." The musician grew up in Telford and attended St Dominic's High School for Girls, in Brewood.

At the age of 15, she started playing guitar and went onto winning her the 'Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge' in 2013 whilst studying at Liverpool University.

After graduating from university, she became a professional musician, amassing more than 400 gigs.

She moved to London earlier this year where she is gigging and working.

Tickets are £7.50 and they are on sale via 01902 716055 or light-house.co.uk
