You know, it’s kind of funny how life flips the script over time. These days, I get a lot of comments about how I look “hot,” especially now that I’m back in the heavy music scene. It’s like stepping back into my nu-metal days in my twenties, except now I’m in the best shape and feeling good about it.

But it definitely wasn’t always like this. Growing up, I was actually bullied a lot for my looks—my ethnicity, my nose, my skin tone. In my home country, my nose was “too big,” my skin “too dark.” In Russia, I got the same kind of treatment because I looked Georgian. And yeah, my hips were always “too thick” for someone’s beauty standard back then. Funny how that shifted into something “popular” over time—like, yep, curvy Georgian ladies represent!

And you know what else? I’m so damn proud I never got that nose job everyone suggested. I absolutely love the way I look now, and I’ve never changed my face. I’m finally happy. I think I’m beautiful and yes, I look Georgian because I’m fckn Georgian, okay?

And if you’re out there looking in the mirror, having mixed feelings because society keeps saying you’re not “good enough,” fck that. Embrace it, be fucking confident, and rock that look. That’s what makes you special, that’s what makes you memorable. Fck those standards.

And to be clear, Im not against plastic surgery. I had it myself after my second child.

And one more thing: I always think about how many times I’ve met guys who weren’t the “prettiest” by some standard, but they were so damn hot and attractive because of their personality, confidence, humor, and that sharp brain. The same goes for women. It’s the best feeling when that first impression flips and someone’s blown away by who you really are. That’s the best.

It’s kind of ironic that my best-selling merch is the “Problematic bitch” line. People think it’s a funny, edgy statement, but for me it’s so much more personal.

I grew up with a misogynistic father. From my earliest memories, I watched him talk down to women, cut them out of his life over the smallest things, and constantly remind everyone how superior he was. I was a little girl trying to earn his approval, terrified of disappointing him. Every achievement felt like a test. Every mistake felt like a threat. I carried that fear for years — even after he disappeared from my life — still trying to live up to his standards so he wouldn’t think badly of me.

When we reconnected as adults, I hoped maybe something had changed. For a moment, it felt like I had a father again. But the second he saw a simple photo of me in a cocktail dress, the insults came back. He told me I didn’t deserve my own last name. That I wasn’t allowed to say I belonged to this family. Hearing that was like someone cutting a piece out of my chest.

Nowadays, I don’t speak to him. But I remember that moment vividly. It became a turning point. Instead of shrinking, I decided to rise. I can’t wait for the day when people open Wikipedia and see my name — my real name — attached to something meaningful, something powerful, something I built with my own hands. To bring value to the family name he tried to take away from me. To prove him wrong.

That’s why I wrote “Problematic.” Not as a joke. Not as a cute slogan. But as a declaration that I refuse to live under anyone else’s idea of who I’m supposed to be. My body is mine. My choices are mine. My voice is mine.

I am Problematic — because I will never apologize for being who I am

People ask me, “what message do you have for your fans?”

But… “fans”?
I don’t know. That word feels so one-directional. Like it pushes people down instead of lifting them up. And the people who are here with me right now? You’re not “fans.” You’re my community. My people. My soulmates in this chaotic, beautiful mess of music and healing.

Even if we’ve never met in person, you feel closer than most people I’ve known in real life.

You’re here before the fame, before it’s “cool,” before any spotlight.
You’re here for the music — because it hits your soul, screams your pain, and reflects your story. I show you my scars, and you show me yours. That’s not a fan–artist thing. That’s connection. That’s family.

I physically can’t say the word “fan” without cringing. It just doesn’t fit what we have.

The people who are here right now are the core of this community.
I’ve been searching for you for SO long.

Yes — as things grow, of course more people will join. And that’s beautiful. But you, the ones here now… you’re the foundation. You’re changing my life in real time. You make me feel heard. Seen. Understood for who I really am. And that is absolutely priceless.

I hope you feel loved and taken care of too.
I love you with all my soul.

“LOWEST” is out now — the 4th single from my upcoming album and my final release of 2025.

It’s a haunting metalcore ballad born from real trauma.
I wrote it after surviving a night of being kidnapped and abandoned by my own mother — a night that changed everything.

This song captures the numbness and despair that followed…
Grief so deep it becomes familiar.
Pain that starts to feel like home.

With cinematic heaviness and raw emotion, “Lowest” turns survival into art.
Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for holding space for the darker chapters of my story.

Hey everyone—new followers and my longtime ride-or-dies! 🖤
I want to share a little piece of my story that brought me back to rock music and why it’s everything to me.

Originally, I started out as a nu-metal and progressive alt-rock front singer in the band. But life got pretty complicated: I was a single mom juggling a mortgage, a career, a band and also was a guardian for my younger siblings.

By the time I hit 26, I completely burned out. My spirit needed a break, and I kind of veered into exploring pop music just to find a different rhythm.

And yeah, I found some success on that path, even though it was a detour from my original love.

I ended up on a big stage in San Francisco, opening for one of my childhood idols. The venue was full, the music was polished, and everything looked like a dream.

But on that stage, I realized I felt absolutely nothing. It was like a light bulb moment. I knew right then I needed to come home to rock, metalcore, alternative rock and the heavy sub genres that truly fit my soul.

So here I am, proudly announcing that this is who I am, and this is the music that makes me feel alive.

I’m beyond grateful to have all of you along for this wild ride, especially those of you who share the same love for the heavy, who knows the same/simjlar pain as I do, and keeps pushing.

I feel seen, I feel heard and I’m endlessly thankful to you all for being part of this community. I hope you feel welcomed and well take care of too

With love
Alex Sandra

I’m so damn proud to share my third single from the album I’ve been building piece by piece.
It’s been a long road — blood, sweat, therapy, and heavy sounds — but we’re getting closer.
Full album coming early 2026.
Thank you for staying on this ride with me. 🖤 And here is my new track WHAT'S INSIDE

Not everyone I work with shares my values or morals. But as a female in a male-dominated industry, I have to stay professional and make strategic decisions that will drive me towards my goals.

Respect is something I’ve had to earn, and sometimes that means making choices based on logic rather than emotion. When I finally achieve the freedom and power I aim for, it’ll be because I persevered.

Am I scared? I am. Am I going to let this stop me? No.
For now, I do what I need to do.
