In addition to Alexandra's two recordings Being Alive and The Story Goes On, (LMGMUSIC) produced by Ralph Lampkin Jr., her work has received national attention for performances in nightclubs and theaters throughout the U.S. including The Empire Room, 88's, The Mercury Theater, Don't Tell Mama's, Gentry's of Chicago, Arci's Place, Park West and Toulouse.
