Formerly a recording artist with Warner and Mercury records and a songwriter with Warner Chappell for Kylie Minogue, Rachel Stevens, Wonderland, etc, Alexis has a strong presence on the web; her videos total over 685,000 hits on YouTube and her career spans an impressive 15 years (even though she is still barely a foetus!)…
​
Her love of writing started aged 16 when she began writing and performing her own poetry; at the time, becoming London’s youngest ever SLAM poetry champion. Poems turned into songs, culminating in a publishing deal with Warner Chappell. Music was Alexis’ life, only pausing to take a role at Endemol as a Creative Thinker (great name!), working on their existing formats and writing little bits of comedy here and there, for the likes of website, Popjustice and Channel 4′s ‘Big Brother’s Little Brother’, where she and pal Paul Rowley penned an animation featuring animated Sylvanian family figurines!
​
From songwriting came performing and solo recording deals. It was whilst filming one of her narrative-driven music videos that Alexis first got the acting bug. A chance comment from the director changed the course of her career. He leaned in and said, ‘you are clearly much happier and more convincing playing a character than trying to be a popstar’. Everything became clear and Alexis walked away from the music business and signed up for a post grad at Central School of Speech and Drama.

Making the transition into acting was definitely the right choice. As well as her work in film (‘Will’s Diaries’, ‘The Keith Lemon Film’ and short films with Richard E Grant and Sir Ian McKellan), TV (world’s first iPhone series, ‘Persona’, BBC3’s ‘Celebrity Bitchslap News’) musicals (‘Over The Rainbow’,’ Exposure’, ‘Snow White’), commercials (M&S, Schweppes, Niquitin), and on stage (with British Touring Shakespeare and Theatre Productions), Alexis is fast building a name for herself as one to watch in UK comedy as both an actress and as as writer.

Her play, ‘Hummus’ was selected by The Royal Court’s ‘Young Writer’s Festival’ last year and she wrote and co-starred in the short film, ‘Shoes’ (officially selected for Portobello, UK Jewish, Toronto Jewish and London Short Film Festivals) in 2012. ‘Shoes’ is directed by BBC’s Dermot Canterbury and co-stars Steve Furst (‘Little Britain’, ‘Skins’).
​
Alexis has just finished production on a second self-penned short film, ‘Taking Minutes’, directed by Rachel Givney (of Rebel Wilson ‘Bargain’ fame) and co-starring Henry Luxemburg and is working on a screenplay adaptation of a successful novel as well as sketches for the web and beyond. She still manages to find time to contribute to TV soundtracks and has been commissioned to write and record tracks for Channel 4’s ‘The Inbetweeners’ and ITV’s ‘Vital Signs’ under her own name and her pseudonym, former Radio 2 and Perez Hilton favourite, Bo Pepper.

Alexis’s current projects include: performing on the stand up comedy circuit in the guise of ‘Denise Dench-Redgrave’ (check out www.Denisecomedy.com for more info) and producing a documentary for The Guardian newspaper online.
