Growing
up Alex Edmonds knew music was a love and passion that somehow,
someway she wanted to pursue. Little did she know that God
had plans of His own, Big plans for the Crossett, Arkansas
Native. In seemingly the Blink of an eye the 19 year old
Vocalist has been cast onto the national Christian music
scene. A scene
that Edmonds says is an "absolute awesome responsibilty and
a humbling experience."
Excited,
Scared, and anticipation are three words that quickly come to
mind when asked about where God will lead. "It's abit overwhelming,
I am so new to this, it's almost surreal, but I trust God and
I know He will take me where He desires." "First and foremost
my goal is to use the talents God has blessed me with for the
enrichment of His Kingdom, that's my utmost priority!" " I also
want to serve as a role model for Teenagers, thats something
that I have always wanted to be and something ,in this day and
time, that is of vast importance." Alex accepted Christ at age
9 while in Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church Crossett.
During the next several years Alex felt God using her more and
more in music.With the support of her Grandmother and family,
Alex continued to mature musically during her early teenage years."Of
course when I was little I sang in the Church Children's Choirs
and participated in Youth events etc."Really it was just a few
years ago when I performed in the Church Youth Band that I realized
God wanted me to use my voice for His service."
I
remember nights after the band would sing, people coming up and
saying they felt God speaking through my voice, I was in Awe
and I just remember thinking "is this really what you want me
to do Lord?" While performing is certainly something that Alex
is accustomed to, it's the more intimate side of ministry that
excites her most." Just being able to share my testimony with
others is something that I am so excited about." I want to connect
with listeners on a personal scale so at the end of the day they
realize I'm just like them, a real person who needs Jesus in
a very real way each and every day of my life." " Edmonds debut
CD "The Blue EP" released nationwide in January of 2010 on Nashville's
Mission House Music. The initial single releases from her EP, "Answer
to Prayer" and "You Said" have been met with an overwhelming
response by Christian Radio, a response that admittedly excites
Edmonds as she conitnues her journey into full time Ministry
." Just to know that God is already using the music to reach
people is an unbelievable feeling." 2010 has been filled with
plenty of learning experiences as well as plenty of travel. This
year Alex has been on tour spanning over 25 Thousand Miles in
support of the album release.
Additional
songs for the second installment of EP's are already completed
including Alex's debut Christmas single "Infant Holy Infant Lowly" as
well as the Power Ballad "When I look at You". 2011 is shaping
up to be another busy ride for Edmonds. With tour dates on the
horizon and a new EP it promises to be another exciting year
