Debuting her edgy new single “Strong as You”, recorded at OCL studios in Calgary this June and heading into a busy summer of events, Pop Country recording artist Alex Hughes is undoubtedly one to watch this year. Born and raised in Calgary, Alex’s Country background is rooted in a long-standing relationship performing alongside The Calgary Stampede Committee at hundreds of events across Alberta.
In 2018, Alex was honored to have been selected to participate in “Canada’s Music Incubator’s- Artist Entrepreneur West program” at the National Music Centre in Calgary. She spent her early 20’s in Los Angeles working alongside Grammy award winning producer, Walter Afanasieff. During her time in LA, Alex opened for Kenny G, performed at numerous charity events, and at the House of Blues. Alex also spent time in Nashville where she was a multiple award winner at the North American Country Music Association International Awards. She has also had the honor of opening for artists like George Canyon, Paul Brandt and Brett Kissel at various events in Alberta.
Singing and songwriting has been a lifelong dream for Alex. 2019 is shaping up to be her most exciting year yet and she’s so excited to share her journey with her fans!
