"Alexa is a natural talent, very attentive to coaching and very tenacious. She both 'gets' and values the experience of her mentors."

Alexa Burkhart
14 years
Musician
When you meet her, you know she is something special. She was born in Mexico and has dual citizenship. Her mother, a former actress, inspired her, and her Mexican grandmother encouraged her. She started singing when she was 2 years old...and hasn't stopped since.
Alexa Burkhart is now a 14-year-old budding star in the growing McKinney music scene. She started more formal training on the guitar and singing skills at The Guitar Sanctuary Performance Academy at the age of seven and has been a stellar student and performer all the way.
According to Shane Frame, managing partner at The Guitar Sanctuary School of Music, Alexa has all that it takes to go far in the music industry.
"Alexa is a natural talent, very attentive to coaching and very tenacious. She both 'gets' and values the experience of her mentors," Shane says. She is an old soul and has been extremely easy to work with.
Besides playing the guitar and ukulele and singing, she writes lyrics, which explains the fact that her favorite class at Prosper High School is English language arts. She loves being with her family. Her mom is now an innovation health coach, and her dad works in the transportation and logistics industry. They visit her mother's family in Mexico a couple of times a year. She has two brothers, 10 and 13, whom she loves enough not to have given up any "dirt" on them.
However, among the most favorite things she enjoys doing is, of course, performing. Alexa has sung in public from an early age, singing the national anthem at such events as Red, White and Boom and Octoberfest. She has appeared at AT&T Stadium and recently has been performing at various venues such as the local Starbucks and The McKinney Coffee Company.
Now, she is promoted as Alexa B Heart and writes, records and performs her original songs. She is a music leader at the Preston Trails Community Church as well, and all who know her have faith she will not waste her many musical talents.
