Kate Alexa

Kate Alexa Gudinski (born 2 March 1988 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), is an Australian pop singer and the daughter of Australian music promoter Michael Gudinski AM. Alexa first hit the spotlight in 2004 when her song "Always There" was featured in the Channel 7 series Home & Away. The second single was a mediocre success, but after supporting the Backstreet Boys on their Australia tour, her third single "All I Hear" shot straight into the ARIA top ten, and stayed inside the top twenty for eight weeks.

Alexa's career began when she was thirteen and wrote her first song, then the following year she started doing demos. "Colors of the Rainbow" was the first song she recorded stating "It's a really fun song, but I don't think I'm ever going to play it for anyone".
She then went on to sign a record deal with Liberation Music in mid-2004.

In 2004, when Alexa was in Year eleven of high school, her debut single, "Always There" was selected to be the soundtrack to Channel Seven's Home and Away promos during the 2004 Olympic Games. This provided valuable promotion for Alexa, with many viewers wanting to know more about the song. This was very rewarding for her as the song was very meaningful to her.

In 2005, Alexa was finishing Year twelve at Melbourne Girls Grammar School (studying Photography, English, Legal Studies and IT) when she released her second single, "My Day Will Come", a song about seizing the moment, it was another top thirty hit. Also in 2005 she graduated from high school knowing the importance of finishing school and deciding music is what she wants to do forever.

On her eighteenth birthday in 2006 she released her third single, "All I Hear". As she celebrated, she found out she had glandular fever and because of this, she was unable to do much promotion for the song. The song peaked at number nine on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and Alexa states "Having a top Ten hit was just an unbelievable feeling. It ment so much to me that people were promoting the song".

On 4 September 2006 Alexa released her fourth single "Somebody Out There" which was another top-thirty hit for her, and on 23 September 2006, Alexa released her long-awaited debut album Broken & Beautiful and describes the album as a reflection of her life and journey over the past few years and claims that everything on the album is true.
In 2007, Alexa wrote and recorded twelve original songs plus the theme song "Ordinary Girl" and two songs from Broken & Beautiful for the soundtrack for the television series H2O: Just Add Water series two, which was released in Australia on 8 September 2007
Cover for Teardrops (2008)
In late 2007, Alexa teamed up with Australian producer Molly Meldrum and American rapper Baby Bash to record a cover version of the Womack & Womack song "Teardrops", which will be the first single released from Alexa's second studio album in 2008.
In February and March 2008, Kate supported Cyndi Lauper on her national tour of Australia. Her setlist for the tour confirms three new songs that may appear on her second album, "Nothing Compares", "Cherry Pop", and "Hit by Love".
On 16 April 2008, Broken & Beautiful was released in Japan, with two bonus tracks, "Walk On" and an acoustic version of "Always There". The album did not gather much attention when it was released, and did not chart as a result.
Currently in production, Alexa's second studio album was said on her official website to be released in 2008, but now is expected to be released at some point in 2009.[citation needed] Her MySpace blog she said that she has been working on it in LA, New York and London, and has described her new sound as "quirky pop". A new bulletin on her official website also states that the H2O: Just Add Water soundtrack is to be released in over 120 countries.
As there is as of yet no news on the upcoming album, it is likely that it is being delayed because of her record label Liberation Music having its distribution label changed from Warner Music to Universal Music.
