Artist Spotlight: Alex Blue

By: Delaney Jennings

Here at Olivia Management we love how our artists are so unique and inspiring. We are so excited to have Alex Blue on our roster. We feel so blessed to have such a beautiful, talented artist to share her stories with the world.

Alex Blue is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who tells a unique story with every song. Alex began her career under the name Alex G. She posted cover videos on YouTube and at one time was the fastest growing music channel on the video streaming site. Under the name Alex G, she released an EP, a full length pop album, released over 200 songs, and also had campaigns with massive brands. However, after all of this Alex found herself being burnt out by all the demands for her time and attention. After taking some time to rediscover herself as a person and an artist, she relaunched her career, under her married name, Alex Blue. Since then she’s released multiple singles, collaborated on an EP with artists she’s admired for years, been hired as a songwriter, and played a supporting role in a Broadway scale musical podcast. Alex continues to write new music and a full length album is to come in the future. 

I want to share with you three of my favorite songs from Alex Blue: “Blue” , “Noise”, and her latest release “The Songbird”.

This first song is so amazing. I adore the way the melody flows and the harmony’s that add to the chorus.

This song is so captivating. Alex’s voice and just the guitar sound so beautiful together!

I love the idea behind this song. My favorite lyric is “if you’re changing, congratulations.” It’s a reminder that changing is not a bad thing it’s a beautiful thing.

It was so hard for me to narrow down my favorite Alex Blue songs to just three. Her voice is so soothing and whimsical. As I listen I feel as though time has stopped and I am in one of those slow motion videos where it’s just me standing in a meadow with the breeze blowing the flowers. I implore you to listen to these three songs as well as everything else from Alex Blue from now and the years to come.

Making Golden Designs

by Mackenzie Fey

Have you ever heard of the Golden Ratio? No?! No fret, me neither! Until quite recently, that is. The Golden Ratio, without getting into the severe math complexities of its origin, is basically a template to follow when designing any sort of visual graphic or image! It’s an easy way to organize information and images that is pleasing to the eye of viewers. Of course this doesn’t mean you have to follow this! It’s just a fun, clean, way of starting to thinking about your designs intentionally!

For those of us in the music business, sometimes you just don’t have the budget for outsourcing designs. This method can be used in tour poster design, website curation, promotional images, and much more all on your own computer.

Try it out and see what you can create with it! We even used it on our blog image template. How golden is that design?!
