Lexa Raquel<br />
Written by Lou Pimber<br />
What do you get when you’re a beautiful yet bashful flight student<br />
who’s afraid <strong>of</strong> flying yet takes lessons from a suave, sophisticated, selfassured<br />
and refined flight instructor? One would expect a shiny new<br />
pilot’s license, instead they managed to get a Wild Cat, a bundle <strong>of</strong> joy<br />
who reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales radio chart<br />
with her infectious single, “One <strong>of</strong> a Kind”.<br />
Indeed Lexa Raquel Pearson is a one <strong>of</strong> a kind, with her infectious<br />
smile and a fresh new voice within the Tucson local music scene,<br />
Lexa Raquel has managed to bring audiences together, entertain and<br />
express her passion with her soulful style and soaring tone.<br />
If you’re lucky enough to know Lexa Raquel, you’ll know that at the<br />
tender age <strong>of</strong> 3 she auditioned for the Arizona Opera Company and<br />
grew to awe-inspire audiences and win hearts when she sang her<br />
very first solo at the age 5. By the 5th grade and well into her early<br />
teens,Lexa was composing her own style and original music all while<br />
learning to strum a guitar!<br />
By the age <strong>of</strong> 14 and for the next four years, Lexa Raquel began to<br />
study under the tutelage <strong>of</strong> Crystal Stark, a warm hearted individual,<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional vocalist and American Idol finalist who was able to<br />
mentor, coach and hone in Lexa’s singing and command performance.<br />
Crystal Stark not only mentored Lexa, but as Lexa would say, “Crystal<br />
has been more than my coach, she’s a beautiful soul who helped<br />
me find my voice and myself as well.” LexaRaquel and Stark have<br />
maintained an 8 year friendship.<br />
Like any good daughter, this Desert Christian High School graduate<br />
has learned more from who her parents are, than what they’ve taught<br />
and for that Lexa Raquel is thankful. She is thankful for their love,<br />
support, encouragement and their persistence to see her succeed.<br />
After all, if it wasn’t for Sharon’s willingness and courage to face her<br />
fear <strong>of</strong> flying and Rick’s gentlemanly style and boyish good looks, we’d<br />
be singing a different tune right now. They definitely hit a number 1<br />
single.<br />
Lexa Raquel is currently finishing up recording her debut album<br />
produced and distributed by Desert Sol Records which includes<br />
renowned Tucson and Nashville Musicians.<br />
“Music, it’s what<br />
feelings sound like”<br />
