WHO WE ARE
Alexandra John, a brother and sister duo, based in Los Angeles, are not only real-life twins born on the same day but also musical twins. Their early bond has shaped their lives and led them to develop an infectious brand of Nu-Disco Pop that encompasses both feminine and masculine energies.
Raised in a musical household in San Francisco, Liza and Weston Cain have music flowing through their DNA. Liza spent much of her childhood engaged in performing arts, singing, acting, dancing & also playing the piano. Weston, a seasoned instrumentalist, began playing the drums at the age of four and later picked up other instruments such as the guitar and piano.
Alexandra John are known for their soul-inspiring and boundary-pushing sound. Drawing influence from legends like Earth, Wind & Fire, Bee Gees, Chaka Khan, and Stevie Wonder, as well as contemporary acts like Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, and Calvin Harris, Alexandra John fuses classic and modern sounds.
Together, as Alexandra John, Liza and Weston create music that inspires and illuminates the soul. Through their music, Alexandra John has addressed universal struggles, including anxiety, addiction, grief, loss and healing.
Alexandra John first made their mark in 2022 with the release of debut singles “Demons,” “Strung Out,” and “Lock Me Down,” culminating the year with their highly anticipated debut EP, Healing. In 2023, the duo released two singles, “Lonely Night” and “Love Like This,” and have performed at notable venues across LA, including The Hotel Cafe, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang & The Peppermint Club.
In September 2023, the duo went through a music program in Santa Monica, California called LAAMP Music founded by the members of Stargate, Tor Hermansen & Mikkel Erikson. The school is a nine month program where you have the opportunity to write songs every week with collaborators from all over the world & have mentors in the industry give you feedback on your work.
“I am not the same person I was when I started LAAMP. It wasn’t only a musical growth experience but a personal journey. While in the experience, there isn’t much time to overthink, you just do. It allowed me to not have time to overthink, trust myself & lean on my intuition & my collaborators for guidance. I am forever grateful for the program, mentors, collaborators, friends & songs created,” says Liza.
“Working at LAAMP was a life-changing experience. There’s nothing else like it. The collaboration and mixture of creatives is a recipe for some really cool songs. All while elevating each other to new heights creatively. Definitely walked out of that experience a different person,” says Weston.
On January 8th, 2025, Alexandra John will release their new single "Taking Off" with an accompanying music video. With a unique blend of dance pop and disco, the track highlights the silky tone of chanteuse Liza Alexandra, paired with anthemic lyricism, creating a nostalgic and unforgettable listening experience.
Co-written with songwriters and producers David Blackwood and Zachary S. Cohan, the new bop calls for artistic freedom—breaking boundaries, letting go of limits, and fully trusting oneself. “We wanted to fuse something that makes you want to dance with something that inspires you to listen,” says Weston.
Liza adds, “The music video is an artistic representation of the freedom we feel in the song. We wanted to create a visual experience that matches the energy of the track and takes our audience on a journey into a world of limitless possibilities.”
With a passion for live performances, they continue to captivate audiences with their dynamic music. They look forward to sharing their new sonic sounds of bringing a rebirth of nostalgic sounds with a modern twist.
