Angelina Alexon is a popular social influencer with viral videos that have amassed over sixty million views. In addition to singing in multiple languages, she is lauded for her vocal range that spans five octaves.

Her latest pop release, “Bada Boom”, hit the airwaves this summer and has garnered close to two hundred thousand views.

She is a self-described “self-contained independent artist that enjoys doing everything herself”.

That includes “Christmas Time,” a song she produced and wrote when she was only 12-years-old.

“While it is a happy song, it always brings tears to my eyes when I sing it,” Angelina Alexon explains. “It is a reminder of that little 12-year-old girl, writing songs of friendship, family and fun times, dreaming of pursuing a music career in the USA.”

She recalls one night as a young teen in Europe: “I found myself grappling with the decision of whether to pursue a trip to America to follow a music career.”

After looking up the price of an air ticket, she says she prayed for guidance and the very next day, stumbled upon the exact amount of money that matched the ticket price. “It felt like a miraculous sign, and I took it as a clear indication from God. Without hesitation, I used the found money to book a flight to the U.S.A., feeling certain that I was meant to embark on this journey.”

Her plans for the new year include updating her line of merchandise for fans and releasing new music in more countries and collaborating with other artists on projects.
