Alessia Aquilani (aka Alexia) is Italian singer, who was born in the 19th of May 1967 in La Spezia, Italy. She came out with her huge hits Summer Is Crazy (released in -96) and Uh La La La (-97). Alexia's first solo record was single Me And You (in -95), but before her solo career she had been in few groups called I Ragazzi Di Migliarina, Brother Machine and well known Ice MC. In Alexia's opinion being in Ice MC was one of the most important things in her career. Alexia has been interested in singing and music ever since a age of four and she has studied those things lot, that can be also heard in her singing.
Alexia's music
Alexia is signed on Sony Epic. In her music can be heard shades of many different music styles. First Alexia worked many years with Italian star producer Robyx (aka Roberto Zanetti). Then in the end of 2000 Alexia thought that it was time for changes and she started to make her songs mostly on her own. It was also step for more pop and soul style of music. The change of style was natural thing for Alexia, because she has always loved soul and blues music. The new style is positive, because now we can even more enjoy about Alexia's heavenly voice.
Alexia is very skillful songwriter. Ideas to her songs she gets from her life and feelings among many other things. Her life and feelings are main topics e.g. in her songs Summer Is Crazy and Hold On, which she has dedicated to her late father Agostino who has big part in Alexia's heart.
Alexia won the highly respected festival of Sanremo in 2003
Alexia has had success also in competitions during her solo career. In 2003 she won the Sanremo festival, which is may be the most biggest musical events in Italy every year. She took the victory with her touching hit song Per dire di no, which she made with little bit of help from Alberto Salerno. The Sanremo 2003 will be always remembered not only about Alexia's victory and the beautiful song, but also about Alexia's tears of joy when she entered as a winner to the stage of the theater Ariston.
Alexia had been in Sanremo already before her victory, because in the year 2002 she came 2nd in the festival with her song Dimmi come. In the hearts of the people Alexia was the real winner also then. Alexia herself was more than happy about her success even she didn't win that time. This is the part of Alexia's personality, about what we all should learn something. It's the joy of life and the respect for everything we have succeeded.
Alexia in her spare time
Alexia's spare time goes in cooking, meeting her friends and bodybuilding, and Alexia thinks that it is important to be in good shape so that she will be able to manage long tours. In Alexia you can see that she has made something to be in good shape. Alexia's favorites in movie are Robert De Niro and Whoopy Goldberg. In the music her favourites are for example Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
This goodhearted and very sympathetic beautiful artist dreams about long career and own big family. Alexia respect people who respect others and of course her, what shouldn't be so hard for anyone who knows her. Shy and quiet Alexia doesn't think herself as a star but modesty makes you look better.
