GALXARA

Although her name and style evoke the heavens, GALXARA hails from far humbler roots. The artist, born in Miami, grew up in Orlando, Florida with her Nicaraguan mother and American father, both of whom were constantly blending the styles and genres of music of both backgrounds. Growing up in such an environment, GALXARA took an interest in music early on. She began singing as soon as she could speak and took up piano at age seven, compelled by the way a song could stir emotion and transform the mood.
