Christie Brinkley, Billy Joel’s Daughter Alexa Thrills Fans As She Sings In New Video

Fans could not get enough of Alexa Ray Joel’s beautiful voice after she recently shared another video of her singing on her Instagram page. The 37-year-old daughter of celebrity parents Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel played the piano as she sang into the mic before her. It is safe to say that her father’s craft and love for music have rubbed off on her well.

Through her frequent posts on social media, Alexa has amassed a fanbase of people who enjoy her music. She debuted her single, “Seven Years” in April 2021 and followed up with a music video months later. Alexa is not just talented in music, she is also passionate about honing her skills; she took a leave of absence from New York University as a musical theater student to focus on her career.

Alexa wants to forge her own path

Like most children of celebrities, people tend to attach their talents and success to their parents. Her recent video got comments in that regard. “You get your talent for ballads from your Dad, Alexa,” a fan wrote. In 2019, Alexa joined her father for a duet at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Father and daughter sang “New York State of Mind” together, showcasing their talent and undeniable connection.

In a previous video, Alexa addressed that people see her as her father’s daughter, which eclipses her potential. She added that beyond Billy’s fame, she had much more to offer in her own right as an artist. She also admitted to feeling insecure growing up because her mother was a model. She once participated in a modeling swimsuit shoot alongside Christie and her sister, Sailor, and admitted to feeling nervous before the shoot.

Reactions to Alexa’s live performance

As Alexa continues to showcase her talent, more people who are just getting to know her get blown away each time. “Wow!! You give me goosebumps! What a voice. I never knew that you had the talent of your father. Just incredible,” a new fan gushed in the comments. Another person praised her for her incredible singing and compared her to a Disney princess.

Another fan expressed their curiosity about why Alexa was not on Broadway. She responded that her passion stays in music, even though she has interests in other artistic ventures. She also added the music industry is yet to recognize her talent properly. The January-born singer loved music from when she was a toddler, as Billy would sing nursery rhymes to her growing up.
