Artist
Although her name and style evoke the heavens, GALXARA hails from far humbler roots. The artist, born in Miami, grew up in Orlando, Florida with her Nicaraguan mother and American father, both of whom were constantly blending the styles and genres of music of both backgrounds. Growing up in such an environment, GALXARA took an interest in music early on. She began singing as soon as she could speak and took up piano at age seven, compelled by the way a song could stir emotion and transform the mood. After many years of competing in small local talent competitions, GALXARA finally caught the eye on an A&R at Atlantic Records. As she recalls, she had only been writing original songs for about a year prior to that and realized very quickly the major importance of being a songwriter and having the ability to write your own music. Since signing with Atlantic Records in 2015, GALXARA, who now lives in Los Angeles with her family, has been writing and recording songs for her debut album. She wants to create music that surges with confidence, that tells the listeners to be themselves no matter what. Her songs are bold because she herself is bold, as you can hear on her first single “Waste My Youth” .The song, co-written with Warren “Oak” Felder (Alessia Cara, Rihanna, Demi Lovato), and up & coming pop writer Michael Pollack (Kelly Clarkson, Lauv, Lizzo) brings in grand, theatrical pop melodies and a massive, sing-along chorus.
