Alexzandra
Spencer Johnson was born on November 4th, 1986. She is the sixth child in a
large family of ten children, with six brothers and three sisters. Sister of
Matt Johnson who guest starred with her on the So Weird episode The Muse.
Alexz first showcased her vocal ability and stage presence at age
three, entertaining her large extended family with her song repertoire. She
enrolled in singing lessons at age six, and still makes time for classical
vocal training with her teacher, Joseph Shore. Her training has given her a
profound knowledge of her ability and range.
At age nine, Alexz started to perform publicly, being
asked to sing at local functions in town. She entered the P.N.E. talent search,
becoming a finalist, and began to display a unique confidence and composure in
front of an audience, adoring any opportunity to astound them with her vocal ability.
At age eleven, Alexz entered an Anthem contest sponsored by a popular radio
station, KISS-FM, and became a finalist of over 800 competitors, most of which
were professional adult vocalists. She won the opportunity to sing for the
season's end Canucks game, and the station was so impressed with her talent,
"Fred and Cathy" invited her on their program to sing. On the morning
of the game, Alexz sang a heart-rending version of "My Heart Will Go
On", acapella, resulting in a huge following of listeners calling the
station to ask about this little girl with the incredible voice. The listeners
relentlessly called B.C.T.V. asking that Alexz be televised singing the anthem
at the game, so that they could hear her. Because of the huge response,
B.C.T.V. finally broke with tradition, giving Alexz her first opportunity to
sing on National television. She received her first CBC interview, and on live
television she sang our anthem as it should be sung, winning acclaim from the
Vancouver Sun, as the best anthem singer of the season. Letters were sent to
the editor asking to send Alexz to Ottawa to show them how the anthem should be
sung.
After this event, Alexz became known as the KISS-FM
girl, being asked on their program to sing for their listeners. She received
many calls from management wanting to represent her, and began performing all
over town. She was the solo vocalist for the B.C. Summer Games, and recorded
their theme song, "Reach for the Stars". She opened the Variety Show,
singing a duet with Bob McGrath, "I'm the Bravest Individual". She
sang the anthem at every possible venue, from baseball championships to the
N.B.A. and the N.H.L. She performed at the Molson Indy, doing her first
complete set of songs, and ended 1999, as the sole entertainment at Planet
Hollywood for New Years Eve. In three short years, at the age of twelve, Alexz
had become quite the professional. She was now ready for the next step.
For the past two years, Alexz has gained much
experience in the studio. She began working as a demo singer on various
projects, and worked with producers and songwriters, co-writing some of her own
music, and developing her own direction and sound. During this time she
received a factor grant, recording the song "More than Friends", and
was a finalist in the YTV achievement awards. Alexz was now ready for her own
demo to go out to record labels in the hopes of achieving her ultimate goal of
becoming a recording artist, like her idol, Celine Dion. However her life was
to take another direction.
During most of Alexz's singing career, she was signed
with an agency, doing commercial work, and some film, to help alleviate costs
incurred with her singing career. Her agent received notice of an audition for
the Disney Series, "So Weird". They were looking for an outgoing
charismatic fifteen year old to play the part of Annie Thelen. First and
foremost, she had to be able to sing. Completely unaware that she had won such
a huge part, (as the show is only aired on family channel in Canada), So Weird,
was acclaimed by T.V. guide as the number one kids show, with a huge internet
fan base, receiving 60,000 hits a day. Fan clubs started everywhere, with
Annie's popularity taking the show to a new level. Episodes were written around
Alexz's vocals and talent, with fans wanting to know where they could find her
music. Disney used one of Alexz's songs, which she co-wrote, for the episode of
Carnival, where she enters a talent contest. Alexz couldn't have been more
excited having her own music on TV.
Alexz recently completed a promo tour from L.A. to New
York, was being interviewed by all the teen magazines, and has been recognized
as an up and coming super teen, with charisma and star quality. She was flown
to L.A. to record the original song, "Everything", for the movie
"The Other Me", about a boy who clones himself. *N Sync, and Aaron
Carter were also featured on the sound track.
During 2001, Alexz was featured on BroadbandTalent.com
and was their most requested artist in the pop category, resulting in two promo
advertisements in Billboard Magazine. With the guidance of her new manager, Mr.
Neil Macgonigill, Alexz decided to turn down a recording contract that was not
suitable for her career.
Her acting
credits have since included the lead in Disney’s So Weird, a principal role on
howcase’s hit series The Chris Isaak Show and CTV’s Cold Squad and the MOW
Selling Innocence. She also appeared in the Warner Bros. feature film Scooby
Doo 2, and a important role in the film Final Destination 3.
Now she has her own CD out and a new hit
Canadian TV show, Instant Star, which has captured audiences not only from
Canada, but the U.S as well. Alexz is a very good & dedicated
singer/songwriter/actress and we have yet to see what next will come from her.
