Alexia Coley

Alexia Coley is a girl who has been preparing her whole life for what 2014 has to offer. Her background as a big band jazz singer and then as lead singer for West London crew The Rotten Hill Gang has prepared her for the big stage and when opportunity knocks she always answers. Although she has played to tens of thousands of people while fronting other peoples bands it was only when she played at Big Chill Festival on the huge Revellers stage at the festival that she started to become widely known for her solo work.

Her voice is one that could rank among the greats with songs that are a mixture of uplifting good time soul and slow emotive torch songs delivered with a style that comes from having a family with show business in the blood - her late mother Ethel Coley having been a famous stage performer in her day. When Alexia plays live with her band you can see a light come on as she walks on stage. She knows it is exactly where she is supposed to be and that now is her time. Her band are tight – a crack crew of young musicians who are excited to play and be part of the phenomenon that is happening right before their eyes.

Her debut single Keep the Faith has received national airplay supported by Craig Charles on his funk and soul show on BBC 6 Music as well as on BBC London and BBC Radio 2 but it’s clear this is just the beginning. With her debut album due to drop in September and her live diary filling up expect Alexia Coley to emerge as one of the UK’s leading soul stars.

Alexia will be performing on the Cabaret stage.
