Here is a transcription of the article:
“Music became a real career choice for me around 15, when I started writing my own music with my brother Brendan,” says Canadian actress turned singer Alexz Johnson. “Music has always been my main passion,” she says. “With acting I sort of feel like it’s a ‘luck of the draw’ type situation.” After a stint on Disney’s So Weird the multi-talented performer soon moved on to a role as a fictional pop singer on the Canadian series Instant Star, but by 2008 she was writing and producing music full time. “With music I can share my experiences and hopefully give people something they can relate to. Moving to New York really threw me into the live music scene and I couldn’t see myself stopping after that.”
Since then Johnson has seen a string of musical successes including the release of her debut album in 2010 and a remix album in 2011. In 2012 she launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to fund her US tour for her forthcoming EP Skipping Stone. Within 24 hours, she reached her $30,000 goal and by the final day she had surpassed it raking in $50,000 to use toward touring. “It was scary! I had no idea I would raise the money. It was a vulnerable gamble but it was really inspiring to see how many ? were fighting for me to tour the US.” Johnson has since stayed busy releasing three demo albums: The Basement Recordings I, II, and III and a documentary chronicling her tour. Her schedule is back-to-back with a US Tour in spring, including SXSW, and recording her second album, due to be released in 2013.
