Interview with Alexz Johnson playing at Vinyl Saturday, March 9<\/strong>When I caught up to talk with Alexz Johnson, she was surprisingly collected and calm after her computer had been hacked\u2013for the fourth time. I would have had a melt down, but the young Canadian singer handled it in stride.<\/p>\n
Her computer was also hacked and Basement Recordings was leaked. Rather than seeing it as a loss, Alexz decided to release more, just so her fans would have proper recordings of the all the tracks, and Basement Records ended up having three different installments.<\/p>\n
So much for hackers ruining your life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMusic has always been my passion,\u201d Alexz said, and she has turned that passion back towards fans.<\/p>\n
Starting her career on TV and movies with roles in So Weird and Final Destination 3, as well as writing music for the shows, stage presence isn\u2019t something this girl is lacking. \u201cI started focusing more on my music after the show,\u201d Alexz said. The singer said balancing touring with acting, auditioning, and writing music was difficult on her own, and music became a priority for her.<\/p>\n
Yet her start on TV has helped the musician get her music out to a broad audience. \u201cIt\u2019s gotten my music all over the world,\u201d Alexz said. From her beginnings as a teen on TV shows, to present day, Alexz\u2019s music has changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you grow as an artist I think it\u2019s important to try change,\u201d she said. From life experiences, and a recent hear break, the singer has begin pushing her musical limits to challenge what she had previously done.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy music started changing as my life started changing,\u201d Alexz said. \u201cI was singing about stuff that really moves me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Where Alexz differs from most young artists is in her managment. She doesn\u2019t have any. Where many musicians scramble to lock onto great management, Alexz has decided to fly solo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like the control I have over the music,\u201d she said. \u201cI am a completely self funded artist and its a self funded tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said she not only likes to have control over her music, but she also enjoys the freedom she gets by not having management. She doesn\u2019t have to compromise what she want to write for the sake of a \u201cgood seller.\u201d<\/p>\n
