Alessandra (formerly known as Sandra Small) has spent over a decade creating spaces for connection and expression through music and the arts. From her early days as a street performer in New York City to captivating audiences at renowned venues like The Groove, The Shrine, The Highline Ballroom, and Webster Hall, Alessandra has built a reputation not only for her vibrant energy and unique sound but also for her unwavering commitment to fostering community through the arts. Her music, which has been featured in film and television projects, speaks to the power of connection, creativity, and shared experience.

Alessandra’s passion goes beyond the stage. She believes in the transformative power of art to unite people, create meaningful dialogue, and nurture personal growth. Through her monthly residencies in New York and New Jersey, she connects with audiences in intimate, impactful ways, always striving to create an inclusive space where all feel welcome to explore their own creativity.

With a strong belief that art can heal, inspire, and uplift, Alessandra’s endeavors—whether through her music, her yoga classes, or community-focused events like the "Awaken JC Open Mic"—are rooted in a vision to bring people together and build lasting, supportive networks. She’s not just an artist; she’s a catalyst for creativity, collaboration, and collective growth. As she prepares for the release of her fourth album, "Transitions," in Spring 2025, Alessandra continues to share her journey of artistic exploration and community-building, inviting others to join her in the mission of creating more spaces where connection and creativity can thrive.
