Alexa Goddard

Discovered as a child at a talent contest, English singer Alexa Goddard toured the U.S. while still in her teens, set up one of Britain's most-subscribed YouTube music channels, and landed a five-album deal with Roc Nation at the age of just 25. Her music for the label combined elements of hip-hop and EDM; her first release was the sweet, bouncy Marilyn, which paid tribute to Marilyn Monroe. A second single, So There, followed that September. ~ John D. Buchanan
