About alexmejias

 
Portrait of alexmejias
UVA Law grad turned singer/songwriter Alex Mejias is carving out his place in the vibrant Charlottesville music scene. With a slew of songs that are fresh and original, his self-titled CD release (Jan '08) carries a classic indie-rock sound that combines melodic hooks with industry-free indie originality. Playing as a soloist or with a full band, Alex's brand of upbeat pop/rock easily lends itself to almost every musical setting.

After finishing law school and passing the bar exam Alex began pursuing music full time, performing throughout Virginia and beyond. No stranger to the stage, Alex has been a performing songwriter and musician for the past ten years. Before appearing as a solo artist his music career has included playing drums with the Nashville rock band Florez, and acoustic guitar and lead vocals for the Charlottesville band Portrait of Another. Alex has performed on numerous stages throughout the East Coast and beyond including the NorVa, Gravity Lounge, Iota, the Jewish Mother and Satellite Ballroom. Alex’s trademark groove and high energy bring each song to life at live performances. No two shows are alike and every show is full of the intensity and sonority that makes the live concert truly unique.

My name begins like so many other typical Americans – in bed trying to ignore the incessant alarm that seems hellbent on violating every international torture prohibition. After getting up about half an hour after I promised myself I would, I end up right here – on the internet. As you may have read independent artists these days must sink or swim with the internet age and the ones who succeed always spend lots of time blogging, communicating and marketing themselves online. (hint, what do you think I’m doing right now!). Interspersed with v...
