Alexa Wilkinson, a Cherry Hill, New Jersey native, has been influenced by music for as long as she can remember. Born May 15th, 1987, Wilkinson began by playing the trumpet in her school orchestra at the age of 10, and received her first guitar at age 12, picking up the drums, violin, tuba, and the baritone along the way. She took a break from music during her move to Park City, Utah, where she began writing poetry. She discovered her vocal talent almost by accident when she began turning her poems into song lyrics.
