Alexis Biesiada, "a child prodigy", was born on December 5, 1996 in
Buffalo, New York. At the age of 2, Alexis' family moved to New Jersey
where she began dancing lessons which complimented her love of singing.
Alexis was always singing out in public and strangers would constantly
approach Alexis and her parents in total disbelief of her vocal
ability. It was during one of these impromptu public performances at
the age of 5 that her talent and passion for singing was recognized by
vocal teacher Badeine Magaziner. Alexis worked with Badeine for a
number of years and her parents credit her with Alexis' early stage
development as a singer. At the age of 7, Alexis' family moved closer
to New York City and began vocal lessons with renowned vocal teacher
Sal Dupree a member of the famed singing group "The Duprees". Sal
recognized that Alexis was a one in a million talent and he encouraged
Alexis and her parents to perform at local charity events and to enter
local and national competitions. Heeding Sal's advice, Alexis began
singing at local charity events such as the "March of Dimes Breast
Cancer Awareness Program", The Leukemia Lymphoma Society, telethons,
local and national competitions such as NJ Radio 101.5s state wide
competition where she was crowned State Champion and PAX TV's -
"America's Most Talented Kid". Some of Alexis' other notable
competitions include "The South Jersey Idol and The Deerfield Harvest
Festival Idol" competitions both of which she came in 1st place.
Besides being a finalist on "America's Most Talented Kid" one of the
highlights of Alexis' young career was her stint as a 3 time winner at
the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. Currently, Alexis is one
of the selected few children to perform in the off Broadway Production
"The People Garden" and aspires one day to be a recording artist and
Broadway actress. In December 2004, she was introduced to acclaimed
producer/remixer Tony Coluccio and his partner Paul Felleti of Mindset
Entertainment. They were stunned upon hearing Alexis and they offered
to work with her during that very first meeting. With their believe in
artist development, Alexis' raw talent and her vocal abilities they
have embarked on a number of projects which include a reality show
entitled "Baby Grand", the development of a weekly sitcom starring
Alexis and have produced 8 original tracks (2 of which Alexis is a
writer on) as well 2 covers "Angels" and "Take on Me". Tony who has
worked with super stars, such as Bette Midler, John Secada, Gloria
Estafan, Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson, is extremely pleased with
Alexis' progress since she has become a member of the Mindset Family.
Tony has been working with Alexis approximately twice a week, further
developing her vocal texture, strength and range. Paul, Mindset's
president, says that although Mindset is a strong believer in artist
development they generally wouldn't work with such a young artist but
in this case Alexis' talent and ability are just undeniable. He firmly
believes that Alexis is a star in waiting and as such he is willing to
invest his time, effort and all of Mindset's resources into the
development of Alexis so that her potential will become reality. .. ..
