Despite her sudden online notoriety, Alexa’s musical career has been years in the making. A seasoned performing professional despite her youth, Alexa has been singing professionally for over seven years, having first picked up a microphone at the tender age of four years old.

Using RODE Microphones to Record Guitars

Posted on 18th March 2011 in How To

from RODE University

“One of the reason’s the NT1-A makes an appearance on guitar amps for me is it’s super quiet. It has a self noise of 5dB. It’s cardioid polar pattern means that I can place it in a room and get a very wide sound”



“The NT3 is a no nonsense, hard hitting microphone. We can simply put this on guitar amplifier, and set and forget. It’s got a really unique low, mid and high frequency response.”
