Leicester Jazz House: Alexia Gardner Quartet

A British singer with Jamaican roots

Alexia’s decades-spanning career has been incredibly varied. Her first significant break came as a teen when she was chosen to tour with the British Cabaret Circuit in England and Wales alongside her sister Paula. The duo went under ‘High Profile,’ and their mesmerizing voices won them a solid fanbase in the UK.

Alexia ventured beyond the UK as she grew older and grew her fanbase in many other places. Her singular voice saw her be selected to perform on luxury cruise liners across the Mediterranean and for prominent hotel groups in Asia. She also had the honor of singing for several Heads of State in her lifetime, including Nelson Mandela in Kuala Lumpur in 2001.
