Alix’s voice, astonishingly soulful for one so young, is matched only by her compositional skill. Along with the surprising maturity of her musicianship and vocal ability, Alix’s lyrics demonstrate the wisdom of one who has lived with sorrow and embraced hope.

"I don't suffer gracefully like you do

Are you afraid to feel the weight of all you go through?"

~"The Curse" 

With her first EP, Alix showcased her songwriting and vocal range, moving effortlessly between the evocative “Losing the War” to the whimsical “You Make My Day.” Throughout, she displays a perceptive depth that would be remarkable in an artist twice her age.

Alix Williams was born in Flint, Michigan and grew up in the small town of Birch Run. 

Music was a constant in her home from the beginning. “I like the awkwardness of having grown up with a mom who loved Whitney Houston, Prince, The Doobie Brothers, and Eddy Grant, and then a dad who listened to Devo, White Stripes, CCR, Talking Heads and Daniel Johnston.” She credits her exposure to a great diversity of music for helping her to develop as a songwriter and performer. 

Like all musicians, Alix is first and foremost a music lover. “Thriller was the first album I ever owned and I played it over and over on my little walkman CD player when I was only five years old.” Her musical awakening occurred when she was fourteen years old. “That's when I first heard Brandi Carlile and a whole new world of Cash, Dylan, Cline, John Prine, CSN, Elton John, and so many others opened up to me. I found the meaning in those songs that I was really looking for and I found a sense of deep comfort and emotion that I didn't get with the teenybopper stuff other kids were listening to at the time.”

When she was thirteen, her family moved to San Antonio, Texas. “When we got here, we didn’t have any of our furniture, which my dad brought later, and I spent all my time in a room with beige walls with just a blanket, pillow and my guitar.” She soon started writing songs and, very tentatively at first, to sing. “For a while I sang in my closet just because I didn’t know if I even could sing.” Before long, Alix began performing at local music venues and the response was overwhelmingly positive. With her father, Stephen Williams, she recorded the songs released on her first, self-titled EP, playing acoustic and electric guitar, drums, ukulele, mandolin, bass and “anything else that needed to go into it.”

She began writing songs her freshman year of high school, and shared them with her dad, Steve Williams, who has played in many high school bands when he was younger. The two teamed up on the songs she wrote and in the fall of 2013, they released their first self-titled  EP.  The differences in their musical backgrounds created a fusion of rock and folk influences that blended together in a powerful way. They drove back to their hometown of Birch Run, Michigan to hold a special CD release concert with close family, friends, and folks from all around the area. Upon returning to Texas, the EP was graciously received  and many shows at their favorite local venue, Imagine Books & Records, followed. Alix, now the age of 18,  recorded and released a second EP entitled "I Like You" on the side in August of 2014. The response was incredibly inspiring and spurred many shows at venues all over San Antonio such as Dorcol Distilling Co., Rosella's Coffee Co., and The Cove. 

A night owl, Alix admits she has seen more sunrises after a long night of composition than she has upon waking up. “My circadian rhythm is a little screwy. All the songs on my first EP were written or partially written at 3 in the morning.”

The band is strongly influenced by muscian and songwriter,  Brandi Carlile, who has signed Alix's guitar. Other influences include The Lone Bellow, The White Stripes, and Tegan & Sara.   

Alix is committed to the cause of Marriage Equality and is a strong Animal Rights advocate. She also has a large collection of stuffed animals, all with proper first and last names.

Her first Five song EP was released November 26th, 2013 with a special unplanned follow-up EP released in August 2014. She will be in the studio this spring to record her full-length debut record as she finishes up her senior year of high school. It's expected to be released in the fall of 2015.
