The first thing I noticed about her was her red hair, then her voice, that was on BET Sunday Best when she came in for Auditioning- she definitely stood out and made a lasting impression that is still helping her till now. She is cool, humble, friendly to a fault, talented and anointed.
Talking on phone with her amazing uncle and manager- Uncle G was absolutely an honour. I just love them, this is the second time am reaching out to her and she's always spot on..(My kind of guests}Thanks Alexis and Uncle G
Alexis made it to the Top 20 out of 15,000 who auditioned for the BET Sunday Best show and then survived the competition to the final, where she was first runner-up. "Even though I didn't win, I thank God for the platform that it provided, it really opened doors for me," she says.
She has completed recording her first album, L.O.L.: Living Out Loud, which was released on March 12, 2013, and debuted at #3 in the country. After 18 weeks after the release, L.O.L reached #1 in the country. Her freshman project L.O.L landed her Stellar Award nominations in two categories; "New Artist of the Year" & "Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year". Her first released single, "Imagine Me," is her take on a song by Sunday Best host Kirk Franklin, which she performed on the show
The Kansas based Songwriter and Worship leader with her new single - All The Glory now #12 on the famous Gospel Charts chatted with us on twitter on the 24th of March via @KabiesiFM powered by #Priscilla's Place- Enjoy...

Priscilla: I think I would love to start with this fun question from an addicted fan in Lagos Nigeria and I quote--"Why the red Hair? Should we expect another?
Alexis: It's just my favorite color ☺ I didn't expect it to become a signature trademark thing, but after Sunday Best, it became that... It's a part of me now though... And a reminder that you don't have to fit into a box... But you can love God as uniquely as you wanna! & He'll love you the same. Be bold. Stand out and be confident!
Priscilla: Wow!!! It's really a cool signature for you. So tell me, how's your music career been since BET Sunday Best?
Alexis: OMG! It's been soooo busy!!! Loads of traveling all over the U.S. Bahamas, United Kingdom, Canada! Omg! I had a #1 album with my freshman project *L.O.L* Two Stellar nods... Now with a new label Uncle G records! Just released my first single #ALLTHEGLORY off my soon to be released project #DearDiary which debuts September 1st!!! Shhhheeeesh! So much!!! I'm grateful! God is so good.
Priscilla: Menn!!! CONGRATS. I can see you've been busy. About Uncle G, how did you guys meet? He's really doing a fantastic job.
Alexis: He is my uncle!! He was working with Music World when I first got signed to them back in 2012 & the God in him is responsible for all my success! He's been in the business for many years. I'm humbled to work with such an integral man of God!
Tweep (UK) Why Gospel? What's your inspiration?
Alexis: God has done SOOO much for me, it's my obligation to sing about it!! Gotta tell the world how amazing He is!! I know he heals because when I was sick in the hospital at 5 years old hooked up to an IV and could barely talk, He healed me and let me sing all over the world! I know him to be a provider because when my family was homeless He made a way! I know him to be a deliverer because when I had insecurities, he showed me my purpose and my true identity! Im gunna tell the world about him
Tweep (Ireland) How old were you when you started singing? How often do you vocal train?
Alexis: I am African American but my roots are actually Irish... My last name "Spight" is Irish! Started singing at 3 in church. I train everyday.
Priscilla: What inspired that song? The first time I heard it was in Toronto -I was lost in the song.so powerful
AlexisI: Learned in English that it's plagiarism to take credit for someone else's work... So we have to always remember to cite Jesus!!!
Tweep (Dublin) I look forward to seeing you in Dublin, Ireland. Any music tour in my area?
Alexis: Well, So far no bookings that way yet! But Feel free to admonish your local promoter to ontact us at unclegpromo@yahoo.com looking forward to it as well.
Priscilla: Moving on to the #GospelChart how did you feel, when your new song came #12 and still climbing.
Alexis: Amazing!!!!! God is great! I'm excited & humbled
Tweep (Nigeria): A question for you Lexi... What makes you happy?
Alexis: Great question honey. Family...crab legs... My supporters... Music... Rain... Drawing... & sleep Lol.
