Whether you’re drawn to her soulful, powerhouse vocals, raw, heartfelt lyrics, or infectious grooves, one thing is for sure—Alex Nester is an artist you will remember. You can’t help but be drawn to her when she sings from such a deep and genuine place. Her music doesn’t just reach your ears, it reaches your heart. Channeling the retro artists of the ’60s and 70’s, Alex blends soul, funk, and r&b and delivers her songs with honesty and meaning.
Alex believes in the great power and beauty of music, and she felt it firsthand through her battle with cancer at 16 years old. Along with excellent treatment, the love of family and friends, and the grace of God, Alex credits music with helping save her life. With a grateful heart, she went on to release two critically acclaimed solo albums and opened as a solo artist for such acts as Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Rachel Platten, Evelyn “Champagne” King, and Dave Mason. Through the years she has also worked with Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The Fifth Dimension, Tito Jackson (of Jackson 5 fame), and Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, most recently touring as a guest artist with Carlos Santana.
Mestizo Beat is an Afro-Latin Soul instrumental group based out of Los Angeles, CA. The band’s energetic sound is led by a mighty brass section and fiery guitar solos accompanied by soulful organ melodies and ground-shaking bass lines, all of which ride on the foundation of flavorful Afro-Latin rhythms and rock-solid drum grooves. Their passion for music is a force that cannot be denied. It is their legacy to share their appreciation for this music with the world and to spread the message of unity through their art.
