Bio 

Born weighing only four and a half pounds but with the voice that could fill a stadium....her parents figured G-d had a plan, they just weren?t in on the joke. They sent their little "peanut" to the "crying doctor" when she was 5 only to be told she just "wanted attention." By 20 she stopped crying but she had head aches. And one day, Cindy Alexander was so irritated and grumpy because the guy who lived in the apartment above her blasted his stereo so loud that it brought on her migraines - so finally she crawled out of bed and pounded on his door asking him to turn it down. Instead of fighting, they became best of friends and started a band. After a couple of years, a lot of gigs, and a ton of emotional epiphanies, Cindy put out a cd which was a compilation of her demos: See Red. Most of the tracks were produced by David Darling (Boxing Ghandis/ Meredith Brooks/ Brian Setzer) and Paul Trudeau (the apartment mate with the booming stereo).

See Red earned a nomination for Album of the Year by the L.A. Music Awards, who the year before crowned her Songwriter of the Year and nominated her for Female Vocalist of the Year. The "Peanut Gallery" (aka Cindy Alexander fans) grew exponentially and Cindy rode the wave of the internet, topping charts at mp3.com and becoming one of Amazon.com?s best indie sellers. Cindy has also appeared on several soundtracks and compilations (Sugar & Spice soundtrack on Trauma Records/ Chilled Sirens on Water Music Records/ Sunday Brunch on Treadstone Records) and her music has been featured in films (Here on Earth, Smokers, Sugar & Spice, and numerous indies) and television (upcoming Party of Five DVD), all of which have served to increase her international exposure. The "Peanut" is relentless: she tours nationally and internationally, sharing the stage with such bands as The Bacon Brothers, Suzanne Vega, Bob Schneider, Ben Taylor, The Bangles, Edwin McCain, Marc Cohn, Howard Jones, Dishwalla and the list goes on and on.

Her performances have been called "crush inducing," "star quality" and the "best of the L.A. Music Scene," charming both audiences and critics alike. In 2003 she released her 2nd Cd, SMASH, also nominated for L.A. Music Award?s Album of the Year. She was named CNET?s Net Music Countdown Net Unknown of the Year (joining past recipients such as Michelle Branch) and was named Female Artist of the Year by Just Plain Folks, also winning Pop Song of the Year by the same organization. 2004 Awards: JPF Awards-Songwriter of the Year, LA Music Awards- Special Achievement Indie Pop Artist, All Access Music Awards- Best Female Vocalist. It doesn?t stop here....

The new CD, Angels & Demons, was released in March 2005 to critical acclaim. Inventory was sold out due to a live appearance on the Mark & Brian radio show on KLOS....a beautiful problem. We?re back in stock though, and Cindy is now on tour across America.
