- Lisa Wenzel (Director of the �Circle of Friends Coffeehouse in CT)


"A radio favorite"

"With intense lyrics and amazing music ability, Alexis is one of the best artists around."

- Katie Zold (Radio Disc Jockey at Southern University)


"Berklee Buzz"

"[Alexis'] well-crafted lyrics create a patchwork of imaginative and provocative images set against familiar everyday backdrops -- an excellent choice for pop lyric delivery. Alexis' musical settings always seem to work very well -- his verses always have some unusual twist that keeps the story going."
- John Stevens (World-renowned Songwriter and Professor at Berklee College of Music)


"Live review"

"Anthem Events' marathon evening of music began with fresh-faced Alexis Babini, whose charming set filled the audience's 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."
- Northeast Performer Magazine

Bio

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 audience's 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."

Hailing originally from Connecticut, Alexis Babini, at age 16, formed his locally acclaimed band “Gabriel’s Groove” and fronted the 2004 release of their full-length album “Up to a Better Place”. That same year, he made his way to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music, where he majored in Songwriting. There, he began to pursue his solo career full-time, and assembled a powerful band to back him at his shows, endearingly christened Alexis Babini and Friends.

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 University’s channel 10 “BU Tonight”.

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. Therefore, it is no surprise that his current hometown of Boston is plastered from one end to the other with stickers that read "Alexis Babini loves you". Rare is there a night when Alexis isn’t appearing live and making new friends.

Alexis songs are already distributed online, but look out for the official EP release and tour in 2008! Alexis and his band are coming to your town to feed you musical sweets until your tummy aches.
