“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...”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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...”

“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. ”

“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. ”
