Alexa Lieb did not come to music through industry pipelines or polished training programs. She came to it because she needed it.<\/div>\n
Growing up in Atlanta, she began writing songs at 14 as a way to survive the emotional highs and lows of adolescence.<\/div>\n
\u201cI was a born singer and forced songwriter by the emotional roller coaster of life,\u201d<\/em> Lieb says. \u201cI quickly learned to use songwriting as a coping mechanism.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
That instinct to process life through music has never left her. Now stepping into a wider spotlight with \u201cRed Lips,\u201d<\/em> a standout single from her debut project December Baby<\/em>, Lieb continues to write from a place of honesty rather than performance.<\/div>\n
The track captures a playful moment of self-confidence. On a cold night when dressing up feels like too much effort, she chooses a bold red lip instead, letting that small decision shift her energy and self-belief.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about how it\u2019s too cold to go out and wear something that makes me feel sexy, so I just put on a red lip and that\u2019s enough to make me feel empowered and hot,\u201d<\/em> she explains.<\/div>\n
Musically, Lieb describes her sound as \u201ca mix of soul and garage band production.\u201d<\/em> She considers it pop music, but \u201cmade with more freedom,\u201d<\/em> driven by storytelling and emotional flow rather than rigid structure.<\/div>\n
Her influences span Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Adele, and Michael Jackson, though she notes that \u201cmy personal experiences and family dynamic is what really shaped my sound.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
December Baby<\/em> reflects that personal lens. While it carries a seasonal title, Lieb sees it as something much deeper.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s more about me than it is a holiday project,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201cI am a December baby, and it highlights all of the things the season means to me. It\u2019s part of my artist DNA.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n

The project has already gained traction, earning a #2 placement on Apple Music\u2019s Holiday New Releases list, while \u201cRed Lips\u201d<\/em> currently appears on the platform\u2019s \u201cNew in Pop\u201d playlist.<\/div>\n
Lieb has also seen organic fan connection through short-form platforms. \u201cI\u2019ve had people message me saying, \u2018I can\u2019t believe I got here early enough where you will still respond back,'”<\/em> she says. \u201cThat really means a lot to me.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
Behind the scenes, Lieb is signed to Ear Drummer Records, the label founded by Grammy-winning producer Mike WiLL Made-It, adding industry momentum to her growing visibility while preserving her creative independence.<\/div>\n
Looking ahead, Lieb describes herself as \u201ca rebel with a cause,\u201d<\/em> guided by the belief that \u201canything we want to do and be is possible.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
Her goal remains simple but powerful. \u201cI make music for people who want to believe in themselves,\u201d<\/em> she says. \u201cI want people to feel inspired. Dream big and live the life you choose.\u201d<\/div>\n

With December Baby<\/em> and \u201cRed Lips,\u201d<\/em> Alexa Lieb is not chasing perfection. She is building connection, one honest story at a time.<\/p>\n
