Bio: Alex’s bout with cancer has helped shape her unique sound filled with messages of love, faith, positivity, and healing while channeling the retro soul artists of the 60’s and 70’s...

Press

“Her idea came to fruition June 18 when Nester rocked a packed house at the famed Troubadour club in West Los Angeles. Nester, a soul singer, pianist, songwriter and voice coach, performed all 13 songs from her new, second CD called "#BurnItDown." The event raised about $10,000 from donations, a silent auction and ticket pre-sales. Nester is donating the proceeds to the American Cancer Society and the Marcelle Erian Cancer Foundation...”

— Amy Bentley, Ventura County Star

“Her self-described style is “soulful” - an ageless and timeless mix of gospel, jazz, R & B, funk, and blues that she effortlessly has infused with a raw vibe that is all her own.”

— Kari Rodems, Westlake Magazine

“Alex's incredible vocal range, lifting the quality standard into sky high dimensions and when she covers a jam, she doesn't avoid risks and does it like the best. ”

— JazzAndSoul.eu

“The voice of a true singer is here on the project and has the power of Aretha Franklin, the compassion of Anita baker, and the fire....and I mean.... fire of Chaka Khan”

— Marv D, TheUrbanMusicScene.com

“Although this album features a veritable "who's who" of top LA players...the real star here is the superbly talented Nester, whose voice reminds us of only the best: Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and even Norah Jones...”

— Peters @ CDBaby.com, CDBaby.com

“Nester already has joined the ranks of Aguilera and Stone as young female voices that realize the essence of soul music - impressive song interpreters who never cheat their audiences with their performances. ”

— Peggy Oliver, SoulTracks.com

“Her sound may harken back to another place and time, but make no mistake about it - this girl is pressing forward. There is more to the 26-year-old singer/songwriter Alex Nester than her age would suggest... an ageless and timeless mix of gospel, jazz, R & B, funk, and blues that she effortlessly has infused with a raw vibe that is all her own. ”

— Kari Rodems, Westlake Magazine
