About Tania: From her website taniaalexandra.com

Tania Alexandra woke up one morning to see a piano taking up most of her bedroom. She was nine, and that piano became her diary.

Immersed in the performing arts and her fatherâs eclectic tastes, she counts The Muppets, Igor Stravinsky, John Coltrane, Tom Waits, Laurie Anderson and Joni Mitchell among her earliest influences. Born and raised amid the beauty of the Colorado mountains, she honed her songwriting in secret while studying music education at Ithaca College, only revealing herself after moving to Philadelphia in 1998.

After recording her debut album Chrysalis, Tania infused herself into the arts community as a singer-songwriter, music and movement teacher, session vocalist and vocal arranger. Her new release Emergence represents both a milestone in her songcraft and a culmination of her experiences as an artist in Philadelphia.

About the Music
Propelled to spread creative energy like a colorful weed, Tania Alexandra muses her listeners. Her passionate voice weaves through piano driven primal grooves creating a collage filled with poetic lyrics and engaging melodies. Tania's songs are edgy, evocative, and subtly complex. Some haunting, some playful, some reflective, some bold - her music explores her journey into the connections and emotions in life through generations and over time between people, nature, and love.


"With a voice that floats with gossamer frailty one moment and soars to a sweeping fervor the next, Alexandra coaxes a sweet purity out of simple moments—watching a butterfly, taking a breath—and draws truth from places still painfully tender, peeling back the layers of her own assumptions and beliefs with a steely determination."
