Alexis Babini August 29, 2008

Alexis Babini is a songwriter and performer who is well-known for his playful stage presence and staggering songwriting skill. Most often appearing with an acoustic guitar and a single microphone, he can sometimes be sighted behind a piano or keyboard. His songwriting is a diverse blend of modern day pop/rock, with an occasional nod to folk classics. Most often joyous and funky with his songs, he always expresses his sensitive side and can occasionally be heard revealing his penchant for Jazz stylings. The Northeastern Performer Magazine describes Alexis music as "? fills the audiences ears with lyrics of love, flirting, and a little heartbreak. His song "High Hopes" had all the women in the room sneaking up to the dance floor of Club Pure in The Roxy. As Alexis left the stage, the room had a good buzz starting." While the musical fashion attributed to Alexis is no doubt well-received, it is most often recognized for its individuality. His musical ability enables him to experiment and successfully blend many styles, tempos, and subjects. The lyrics, have reached numerous fans, and span from playful and humorous in "Let It Shine", to the most serious and pensive in "A Love Song". Stylistically, the songs take their inspiration from varying sources ranging anywhere from Ryan Adams to Michael Jackson and everywhere in between. However, no matter what the mood, Alexis will always be seen wearing a smile and always entertaining his fans. Alexis has also taken his act to television and radio, appearing as the special guest for "All About Arts" at local Boston Neighborhood Network Television, and being the featured artist for college held programs such as Boston Universitys channel 10 "BU Tonight". Also, recently Alexis was a recipient of Berklees Performer Songwriter Award. Alexis personable demeanor on- and off-stage has long been a trademark of his music, and he has therefore created a loyal fan base that he refers to as his friends instead of his fans.
