Description:
Female rocker Alex Bach combines a sexy edginess with a worldly wisdom that belies her young age. With a deep, rich, mesmerizing voice and a kicking guitar style, she is a powerhouse performer who has played in front of audiences ranging from small clubs to 25,000 seat stadiums, always leaving them lusting for more. And most recently she had the honor of entertaining American and Coalition troops in the Middle East during the holiday season. “It was an honour to serve my country with my music,” she says. “Whether you are for or against the war, I think it’s very important to support the brave men and women who are putting their lives on the line for us.”
Besides being an accomplished songwriter and performer, Alex exhibits a marketing savvy which has catapulted her to world recognition and sold nearly 30,000 units of her first, independently released CD. With the help of her website, www.alexbach.com, Alex has reached thousands of fans. Eager to help spread the word, they’ve established the Alex Bach “Ground Force”. Together, this diverse group from the United States and 15 other countries around the world have built the Alex Bach name into a recognizable brand by supporting her tours and purchasing her CD’s and merchandise. With their help, Alex has had four songs rise up onto the Billboard MP3.com Top-40 download charts, including two, #1 hits, “Anymore,” and “Miles to Go.”; truly a remarkable feat for an independent artist with no record label backing. Now with MTV picking up her music to use in their programming, Alex has transcended beyond the Internet to traditional media to connect with her fans and develop new ones.
And the essence of that connection comes from both the power of her performance and the content of her lyrics. Howard Goodman, writing in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, said, “She’s got a sexy image, a brainy attitude, a supple voice and a self-confidence that’s almost eerie.” And Jonathan Sanders in Gods of Music wrote, “Her voice is like that of an angel with enough attitude to keep us listening. It also doesn’t hurt that Alex Bach is a great musician. Her strong, guitar-driven music fits in with the best of today’s “major” artists.”
Alex was born in France to a French-Tunisian father and an American mother. Shortly thereafter, her family moved to the United Arab Emirates, back to France, and then finally the United States, where Alex spent the remainder of her childhood. As a teenager, she gained an appreciation for Hispanic cultures, as well as a grasp of the Spanish language, during a humanitarian mission to Costa Rica. Being multilingual, her diverse background has influenced the person she has become and the songs that she writes. Her emotional and evocative songs speak of life in its most personal and honest form.
“I love to write lyrics that shake people up and force them to re-examine their lives. The ability to write music and sing it in a way that touches people is an awesome power. If I can get just one person to take an honest look in the mirror, then I will feel like I have used that power of music wisely.”
