Alexz Johnson Preps To Bring Her Unique Flare To Charlotte<\/strong>
\nBy Hunter Heilman<\/p>\nIf you guys ever watched \u201cThe N\u201d when you were younger, you know very well of Alexz Johnson from \u201cInstant Star\u201d along with her unique style of music. On her new tour, Johnson makes her stop in Charlotte on Dec. 4, and brings everything wonderful about her music with it. \u201cI just wanted to focus this time around on writing more mature songs and deeper songs. The feeling changes with where I\u2019m at in my life and stylistically, it\u2019s just what I\u2019m into right now.\u201d Johnson said about her new album \u201cLet \u2018Em Eat Cake\u201d, and how she takes on writing each new album.<\/p>\n
Johnson, hailing from Western Canada, has had a lengthy career (for her young age of 28), getting started at age 13 on the Disney show \u201cSo Weird\u201d. Johnson also breaks off into acting when she\u2019s not doing music, one notable role being that of Erin Ulmer in the 2006 horror film, \u201cFinal Destination 3\u2033 (in which I got to fangirl over today). When asked how she stayed grounded being such a young actress\/musician and not succumbing to the stereotypical \u201cDisney Kid Gone Bad\u201d persona, she gave the advice to young artists to \u201cMake sure you keep very grounded and honest people around you. If you\u2019re passionate about what you do, you\u2019ll be okay. If you want to just be famous, that\u2019s going to be the dangerous path.\u201d<\/p>\n
If you listen to \u201cLet \u2018Em Eat Cake\u201d or her 2010 album \u201cVoodoo\u201d, it\u2019s apparent that Johnson\u2019s voice is unique. She has what many people can\u2019t accomplish in one voice, incredible power and palpable fragility. There\u2019s something special about a voice that can belt the high notes, and keep the sensitivity of her quieter moments in her music, it\u2019s something you don\u2019t see often. What\u2019s even more interesting is that it\u2019s hard to pin a genre on her, you could label some songs indie rock, some songs pop, and go on for ages with each piece, which signifies that there is something for everyone with her music, another aspect not seen in many artists currently.<\/p>\n
Johnson is clearly passionate about what she does, you can hear it in her voice and how excited she is about sharing her music with her fans. \u201cI always want to put on a good show, I want people to want to come back. I want people to just enjoy themselves.\u201d Johnson says about her new tour. When asked about her goal on her newest album with her fans, Johnson stated \u201cI hope they find it beautiful, as long as they can connect to my music, and that they feel like it\u2019s real and truthful. Maybe someone can connect it with something going in their life, that\u2019s all I can hope for, that I can share my art. I just do what my soul needs to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexz Johnson hits Charlotte on December 4th at 9:00PM at The Double Door Inn, tickets are $10. The event is 21 & over (or else I would be there in a heartbeat).<\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here is a short article about Alexz’s upcoming Charlotte tour date.
