Alexandra Starlight is an American rock 'n' roll and soul singer, song-writer and performer. Alexandra and The Starlight Band (stylised as Alexandra & The Starlight Band) is the recording name of her current project in collaboration with Zachary James.
Alexandra's music has been described as having "rock and roll roots" and a "soul influenced style" that creates an "uncompromising" and "modernized spin" on classic American music.
Her raspy yet soulful vocal style and emotional delivery has been compared to the "gritty intensity" of Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Tina Turner the "blues-drenched raw power" of Janis Joplin, rocker Joan Jett, and contemporaries Amy Winehouse. Critics have called her an "indie-soul diva" with "the swagger of a thousand men."
She is influenced by the classic American sounds of rock & roll, soul music, with nods to gospel, Motown, R&B and blues, vocalists such as Otis Redding, and contemporary British female neo-soul singers.
Alexandra embodies rocker chic style, combining vintage and retro pieces with custom designs in collaboration with artists and young designers. She appeared in Smithsonian Channel syndicated program about retro couture, "LA Frock Stars" alongside Dita von Teese and Macy Grey, espousing her love of unique vintage in the episode "If This Dress Could Talk: Sequins and Sparkles for Alexandra Starlight."
