The multi-instrumentalist has been singing for as long as she remembers and has opened for a variety of artists, including Randy Hauser, Midland, Montgomery Gentry, Cassadee Pope, Clint Black, Old Dominion and others. However, according to her website (www.alexisgomezmusic.com), she is more than just another fresh voice for country music.
“As an artist I hope to be able to create music that people want to sing and listen to,” said Gomez. “I would also love to bring something a little different to Country music, which is where I hope to weave some of my Mexican heritage into my music.”
