Alexi Paraschos

Called "blue-eyed soul for the 21st century," Alexi, originally from the Boston area but now in Philadelphia, has since developed an impressive list of accomplishments for an independent artist. He performed at SXSW 2017, he has been featured in numerous media outlets like the New York Times, ThisisRnB.com, and soultracks.com, and his music has been licensed for use in fourteen television shows across seven major networks including A&E, MTV, VH1, and BET. In 2018, after running a successful $12,000 Kickstarter, he and his band executed an innovative, ten city “East Coast Diner Tour,” putting on full, live concerts in mom-and-pop diners from Boston to Atlanta.

For his latest, most ambitious project, “Love Odyssey,” Alexi was inspired by a trip to his father’s homeland of Greece in 2018, and his subsequent wedding engagement to his longtime partner. A collection of love songs and with visuals that reflect Alexi’s Greek heritage, the project transports listeners to a world of endless, old school romanticism, with its groove-heavy R&B musical stylings and lyrics that reflect the joy of being in love. With album features from hip-hop legend Jadakiss and Grammy Award winner Chrisette Michele, and additional appearances by Amina Buddafly, T3 (Slum Village), and Natalie Stewart (Floetry), Alexi is poised to take the R&B world by storm and demonstrate that traditional, two-steppable love songs are not dead.
