ARDNAXELA hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico. In late 2004 she released the Independent debut CD TELECINE DE LA TARDE CON ARDNAXELA, a strong cultural influenced record mixing Puerto Rican, Argentine, Mexican and Spanish musical elements from the '60s and '70s with some modern Latin Alternative Pop Rock thrown in for good measure. Currently residing in Mexico City, she is performing live and writing what will become her second CD.

"…Soft but incisive voice, tight rhythms and bubbly organ melodies of her music transport listeners to a land of color and candy that makes people wonder if somebody changed their Tylenol for Quaaludes…"

ARDNAXELA

(a.k.a Alexandra Rosa) presents her debut CD ‘TELECINE DE LA TARDE CON ARDNAXELA’, released independently in late 2004 to great critical acclaim. The video clips for ‘EL SELLO’ and the subtle, emotional track ‘TIRIJALA’ is receiving rotation on MTVpr and LATV, while her loyal feverish following chant her songs at her live performances.

This musical work is a direct result of a strong cultural influence mixing Puerto Rican, Mexican and Spanish musical elements with unique lyrical content matched by an excellent harmonic and rhythmic structure making who is ARDNAXELA, who was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. At age 6 she studied classical ballet, which introduced her to feel music from deep within. At age 8 she started taking piano lessons and eventually kicked her teacher out of her house because she wanted to improvise her own songs. ARDNAXELA (her name backwards) reflects her alter ego (symbolized as a smiling green alien cartoon which she created herself), radiating her oneness, totally free and uninhibited.

While in college, Alexandra picked up acting and participated in TV and theater, while singing and performing with the local Indie bands Plasticina, Infamia All Stars and MupSiquita (currently known as Superaquello). She later joined the band Vivanativa (Universal), toured Mexico and Spain while opening concerts for Grammy winners La Ley and Ricky Martin. In a short time she realized that it was time to start her own career as a solo artist and she immersed heavily into songwriting.

Sandro de América from Argentina tops the list of artists that has influenced her musically. Followed by Cocteau Twins, Pili and Mili, Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Rocío Durcal, Dusty Springfield, Silvia Rexach and The Pixies. ARDNAXELA is currently on a USA and Mexico tour promoting her record and writing what will become her new CD.
