DOORS OPEN AT 5:30PM
This very special edition of JAX SongStage with Kayla Kraemer is the Album Release party for ALEXIS SILVA. Born and raised in Orange County, California, Alexis Silva is a sixteen-year-old, second-degree black belt, who always had a vision for community service and a passion for music. In 2023, she faced-off against an adrenal gland tumor that changed the course of her life, leading her to write, sing, and record the ‘The Fight’s Not Over Yet’. She did this just days before her grueling, eight-hour surgery to remove the tumor her physicians believed to be cancerous. Only 30 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with these tumors per year.
This powerful and frightening experience compelled her even more to dedicate herself and her new life to those less fortunate, especially those facing the threat of cancer. She felt she had a second chance at life and every time she looks at her scar, she remembers the thoughts and the prayers that helped her and now desires to pass those prayers and feelings of hope to others. She wishes to do that, not only through her foundation, but through her music.
Alexis is exceptionally grateful to the kind, talented artists & athletes who took time from their busy schedules to give words of encouragement to her. Those videos and phone calls of kind words changed her life in a highly positive way. The wonderful people who helped her include Dionne Warwick, Billy Ray Cyrus, Firerose, Gladys Knight, Mike Tyson, Dianne Warren, Sofia Carson, Donnie McClurkin, the talented kids from Hits! The Musical, Brice Young, Trenton Irwin, and Alicia Newman. The individuals were extremely inspirational, further strengthening her belief that she could overcome all the odds stacked against her.
