Cindy Alexander

Born weighing only four and a half pounds but with the voice that could fill a stadium....her parents figured G-d had a plan, they just weren't in on the joke. They sent their little "peanut" to the "crying doctor" when she was 5 only to be told she just "wanted attention." By 20 she stopped crying but she had head aches. And one day, Cindy Alexander was so irritated and grumpy because the guy who lived in the apartment above her blasted his stereo so loud that it brought on her migraines - so finally she crawled out of bed and pounded on his door asking him to turn it down. Instead of fighting, they became best of friends and started a band.

After a couple of years, a lot of gigs, and a ton of emotional epiphanies, Cindy put out a cd which was a compilation of her demos: See Red. Most of the tracks were produced by David Darling (Boxing Ghandis/ Meredith Brooks/ Brian Setzer) and Paul Trudeau (the apartment mate with the booming stereo). See Red earned a nomination for Album of the Year by the L.A. Music Awards, who the year before crowned her Songwriter of the Year and nominated her for Female Vocalist of the Year. The "Peanut Gallery" (aka Cindy Alexander fans) grew exponentially and Cindy rode the wave of the internet, topping charts at mp3.com and becoming one of Amazon.com's best indie sellers. Cindy has also appeared on several soundtracks and compilations (Sugar & Spice soundtrack on Trauma Records/ Chilled Sirens on Water Music Records/ Sunday Brunch on Treadstone Records) and her music has been featured in films (Here on Earth, Smokers, Sugar & Spice, and numerous indies) and television (Party of Five DVD), all of which have served to increase her international exposure.

The "Peanut" is relentless: she tours nationally and internationally, sharing the stage with such bands as America, The Bacon Brothers, Suzanne Vega, Joan Osborn, Bob Schneider, Ben Taylor, The Bangles, Edwin McCain, Marc Cohn, Howard Jones, Dishwalla, Joe Bonamassa and the list goes on and on. Her performances have been called "star quality" and the "best of the L.A. Music Scene," charming both audiences and critics alike.

In 2003 she released her 2nd Cd, SMASH, also nominated for L.A. Music Award's Album of the Year. She was named CNET's Net Music Countdown Net Unknown of the Year (joining past recipients such as Michelle Branch) and was named Female Artist of the Year by Just Plain Folks, also winning Pop Song of the Year by the same organization.

Cindy kept busy touring in 2004 with a new distribution for her own label, JamCat Records, and began working with Dave Darling on her 3rd release, Angels & Demons, released March 3, 2005. Reviews of Angels & Demons are glowing: "This album is a masterpiece. Her style as a writer, singer, and woman is screaming with power and purpose." - John Hartmann

December 2004 showered CD with 3 awards: LA Music Award for Indie Pop Artist of the Year, JPF Songwriter of the Year, and All Access Magazine Best Female Vocalist.

In March of 2005, Cindy was a guest on the Mark & Brian KLOS radio show. After playing 4 songs live and being interviewed, both Amazon.com and CDBaby.com were sold out and back ordered. The website received 1000 hits in one hour and Cindy's email in-box was flooded.

With the heat turned up and a renewed sense of artistry, Cindy hit the road in 2005 and 2006 stronger than ever, headlining festivals as well as opening for the legendary band America and her good friends the Bacon Bros. Cindy's song "4 Hours" from Angels and Demons was released on Water Music Records/ Universal's compilation "Ecclectic Cafe" alongside Aimee Mann, Duncan Shiek, Moby, and many other prominent singer/songwriters.

Cindy is currently writing and recording her fourth cd, due out early '07.
