Childhood

Alexa Demie was born on December 11, 1994, in Los Angeles. Her mother, a make-up artist, was born in Mexico and immigrated to the US in the 80s. But heritage and language stayed central to her family life – Alexa was raised by her grandmother, mother, and aunts.
My entire Mexican family spoke Spanglish – half English half Spanish. I have never forgotten about my roots, - Alexa confessed.
Alexa doesn't see her father often. When she was 8, he was going through rehab, so most of their time together was spent at AA meetings. "I was sitting there listening to people talk about their problems and the hardships they went through," Alexa recalls. These encounters gave her valuable life experience that would prove extremely useful in her acting career.

As a child, Alexa loved singing and performing in front of the guests at their house. Acting classes were a natural extension of her constant desire to showcase her talent, but they didn't turn out as expected. Alexa considers herself a self-taught artist who's built both her music and acting career without formal training.

Acting career

According to Zoomboola.com, Alexa made her screen debut at 19 in the music video for Azealia Banks and Pharrell Williams' "ATM Jam (Kaytranada Remix)." A couple of years later, Alexa appeared in the short film Miles, directed by Oliver Daly, who would go on to helm the action movie A-X-L (2018).

Over the next three years, Demie appeared in episodes of the drama series Ray Donovan with Liev Schreiber and the comedy series Love, plus the comedy Brigsby Bear (2017), which follows a 25-year-old man who spent a decade in isolation.

Despite her successful film industry debut, Alexa isn't a stranger to rejection. After each rejection, Alexa found comfort in music, her main passion since early childhood. Her debut singles Girl Like Me and Closer are quite popular among soul lovers.

She wouldn't stay in background roles for long. In 2019, her career hit a major breakthrough when she landed one of the key roles in the teen series Euphoria. The series follows high schoolers grappling with issues like drugs, low self-esteem, identity, and sexual awakening.

Demie played Maddy Perez – a confident senior who loves bold fashion and makeup, a beauty pageant winner who dreams of living a rich, carefree life without much effort. The actress says she and her character are completely different people. She insists she would never go to such lengths in her personal life.

When shooting wrapped, I was happy to return to my favorite occupation," Demie says.

  • «Mid 90s» is nothing like a movie with Demi! Only not quite accurately conveyed the atmosphere of those years.
