Just letting you know about Lexie Stobie (people who watched songs of praise yesterday will know of her already). I have been helping to promote her for a short while. Lexie is a great singer and sings mostly christian/ blues/ folk music.
Here is the feature from my blog:
Now I will do a feature on a Lexie Stobie, a sixteen year old Christian singer and worship leader from Worcester, England. I will start with a quick introduction.
Lexie has recently finished her GCSE study at School, however she is a school leaver with a difference because she is part of the All Saints Church in Worcester and her work with the Church involves singing, worship leading and performing in plays.
But Lexie has not only led worship at All Saints Church, alongside Bill Scriven, another member of the Worship team, she has travelled around Worchester around the country while writing and recording new songs.
After receiving a financial gift and praise from her listeners, Lexie recorded her first CD in 2005 which was named ‘Keys of the Kingdom’ and in 2006 Lexie and Bill started to record a second album with Tim Stringer and Mat Gill from St Paul’s Church in Worchester on the drums and bass.
After weeks of practising, the group produced Lexie’s second album, ‘Is It Time?’ which had many songs recorded by Bill, Mat Gill, Lexie and Richard Wood from All Saints Church.
Her influences, apart from God, are singers/songwriters such as Aretha Franklin, Bill Whithers and Alicia Keys and Lexie is also keen on the Blues.
These have led her to perform in the BBC Radio 2 Young Choristers of the Year
2006 Competition and reached the final on 28th October 2006 in Westmister Abbey and sung ‘The Lord’s My Shepherd’ and ‘How Great Thou Art’ and it was broadcasted on Sunday 5th November.

Her website is here - lexie.allsaintsworcester.org.uk/
Let us know what you think of Lexie...
