Release Notes:
In a market saturated with songwriters and performers, there are
few individuals who stand out amongst the crowd. Alexis Dallman is
one of those artists who captures your attention the moment she
walks on stage. Alexis' songs range from ethereal ballads to
punchy pop/rock. Her music is embodied with a hellacious passion
and undaunted perseverance; qualities which are indignant to her
own personality. Like many great musicians, Alexis' inspiration to
play was established at a young age. As early as kindergarten,
Alexis had a fan club. She would put on performances for her
classmates in the sandbox. Her mother recalls, "It was amazing,
the whole class of five year olds sitting quietly as Alexis did
her show." As her desire to write and perform began to develop,
Alexis took up playing piano, guitar, and trumpet. Her first
professional studio experience came at age twelve, when she got
the call-back for the American Girl Dolls commercial. During
junior high school she participated in talent shows as the only
individual who sang original material. Her writing and performing
continued through high school, as Alexis began to find her voice
and develop her sound.
During her teenage years, Alexis acquired a
taste for mischief. Her behavior landed her in a lock-down
facility, where she was allowed few amenities aside from her
guitar. The two years spent there were the defining moments in
Alexis' growth as a songwriter. In an environment designed for
self-reflection, her songs began to write themselves. Before
graduating from the program, Alexis was offered an opportunity to
record twelve songs at Brigham Young University. Soon after,
Alexis moved to Chicago where she continued to write and perform.
She then moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota where she attended The
Institute of Production and Recording, and acquired a degree in
Audio Engineering and Production. During her time there she was
offered an opportunity to record her song, "Sounds Too Late," with
Prince's protege, Paul Peterson (aka St. Paul) and engineer Tom
Tucker (Lucinda Williams, Prince, Johnny Lang). She was also
featured on a commercial for the Ohio state lottery after being
recommended by jingle writer Steve Horner (MTV, FX, Nokia). Alexis
then began work on a five song EP with producer, Kevin Bowe
(Johnny Lang, Etta James, Richie Sambora). "The Most Class" is an
eclectic mix of rock, pop, and soul. In the summer of 2007 Alexis
arrived in Nashville, Tennessee in an effort to build upon her
talents in the competitive market of music city. She is currently
writing, recording, and showcasing her music around town. Among
the great talent in the city of Nashville, Alexis has the
gravitational personality that pulls the audience in and the
inspiring songs to entice their emotions.
