ABOUT ME

 

Angelique Alexander is a versatile singer of both opera and jazz. As the granddaughter of late jazz drummer/vibraphonist Ray Alexander and the daughter of Russell “Hitman” Alexander of The Hitman Blues Band, she was exposed from an early age to a wide variety of music.

Angelique pursued a musical education in classical voice where her uniquely dark and warm mezzo-soprano voice made her stand out from her peers. She has continued to use her ability in text painting with her vocal artistry as well as her expressive appearance when singing the varying styles of classical music and jazz.

During the pandemic, Angelique began an outdoor solo concert series in the Morcom Oakland Rose Garden. These concerts have expanded to a wide audience of Bay Area locals, and due to their livestreams, have reached as far as Europe in viewership. She has completed 5 seasons in the Rose Garden with plans to continue the concert series next summer. Angelique has been a featured singer at several Bay Area venues, such as Feinstein's at The Nikko (SF), The Academy (SF), The Battery club (SF), SF Salons by Boris Goldmund, and The Alley (Oakland). She has also been a featured singer at Clayton Piano Festival since the 2021 season.
