Alex grew up on a farm in central Ohio. At 10 years old, she wanted to play guitar (like her dad) and started taking lessons. At 18 years old, she wanted to be an engineer (also like her dad). She started a CS degree at Virginia Tech, where she also played college softball. She finished her degree at Ohio State and moved to Nashville at the end of 2018 to pursue writing for country radio. Alex had her “oh shit, I’m an artist” moment at the end of 2023 and started releasing music. She is currently recording her first full length project, a 10-song LP, set for release later this year. Over her 6 years in Nashville, Alex has made some good friends, held a 5 year IT career in cybersecurity, written a handful of good songs, had her heart broken, played a lot of fucking writers’ rounds, pressed some records at Physical Music Products, and completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training in India. She is semi-chronically offline. You can find her on Spotify, Apple Music, etc etc, sporadically @alexbarnesyall and irl likely around East Nashville.
