Alexa Weber Morales was born to a musical family in Berkeley, California. She began classical piano lessons at five and sang her first solo at eight at Malcolm X Elementary, during a performance with Bobby McFerrin. “I've been singing as long as I can remember.” Desperate for music, however, she performed in cabaret and theater, and listened to k.d. lang . She left college in her sophomore year and took several months to drive cross-country. Back in the Bay Area, she continued her independent music studies, she worked her way up through the Bay Area music scene. It was in 1999, during class at Jazz Camp West taught by Wayne Wallace , that she began to understand that not only her singing voice but her songs were viable. Wallace produced her first album, Jazzmérica, an eclectic brew of salsa, jazz, and Brazilian influences. Despite the fact that she had no promotion budget, Jazzmérica slowly built a buzz. Their successful collaboration continues on Vagabundeo , another exciting step in the lifelong musical journey of Alexa Weber Morales. Overall, Vagabundeo mirrors the gumbo of global influences currently simmering in the Bay Area, a Latin sound as unique as anything coming out of Miami, New York, and San Juan. With Vagabundeo and the exceptional singing she contributed to Wayne Wallace 's recent The Reckless Search for Beauty project, Weber Morales is ready to step out and take her place in the first rank of the Bay Area's—and the nation's—jazz singers. website
