Alexa Melo is a force to be reckoned with, and her entire life revolves around music and entertaining. When she was 3 years old, Alexa would dance and sing to the music that her mother would play on the radio. It was something she couldn’t contain, and she would perform for anyone who would give her the opportunity. Alexa’s first solo performance came at the age of five, for Disney Under the Stars. As she left the stage to a standing ovation, Alexa looked at her mom and said "I felt free on the stage." It was then and there that she knew entertaining was her calling, and it’s what she needed to devote her life to. As her popularity grew, Alexa was invited to join Show Stoppers; and when she turned 7, she wrote her first of hundreds of songs and recorded her first demo. That same year Alexa won her first talent show, and hasn’t looked back. She’s won every competition she’s ever entered. At 8 years old, a producer from the Maury Povich show spotted her and invited Alexa to perform in front of a national television audience. She was subsequently invited to compete on Star Search, and at 9 years old Alexa was selected to perform on America’s Most Talented Kids’ season finale Diva Special. She might have been the youngest contestant by several years, but Alexa knocked ‘em dead and outshined the pack.
At ten years old, Alexa and her mom left behind their family, their house, and their pets (including a potbelly pig) back in Boston in order to pursue Alexa’s dream of performing. Alexa immediately booked her first guest starring role on Showtime’s "Sleeper Cell." She’s since appeared in a myriad of print ads and commercials. Alexa attends the School Of Pop, has her internet radio program, and produces a weekly webisode series entitled "Simply Alexa", seen by several thousand viewers each week.
Alexa is currently working with Grammy nominated Alex Cantrall, who wrote the hit "Leave (Get Out) by Jojo; and Ron Harris, the producer behind Christina Aguilerra’s smash debut album. Alexa is presently studying under scholarship at The Young Actors Studio.
