We had the good fortune of connecting with Alicia Silex and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alicia, what do you attribute your success to?
Beind purposeful, I truly believe there is a lot of talent in the metroplex. I think being thoughtful about every gig has marked a difference in our work. Thinking about the best song, best genres and repertoire for each event and how that might spark emotion, memories or laughter has been a priority for me. That along with trying to always do our job with professionalism, honesty and excellence.

All of that plus the golden rule “Be Kind”, always.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is one that reaches the deepest part of my soul, music. When words fail me, music speaks for me. When life is hard, music has been my companion and even my therapy. I want the world to know, it has been hard, many times I’ve wanted to throw the towel in and live a “normal” life. But at the end of the day what keeps me going is when someone tells me how special it was for me to be a part of the most important days of their lives (weddings, IVs, Birthdays etc.) It makes me so happy to know that what I am doing is not only for me, it’s really sharing for others too. I thank God every day for gifting me the love for music, it is always an honor for me to share these moments with all of you.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Sometimes the music career journey is challenging and many people close to you discourage you because they are afraid it will not be a financially or emotionally secure path. With that, I have had so many mentors (from a far) and angels along the way it’s very hard to name them all. I have to give a shout-out to some of my all time favorite artists that I admire so much and learned from both vocally and artistically. Whitney Houston, Rocio Durcal, Juan Gabriel, Celine Dion and of course our beloved Selena.
