Jessi Alexander never intended to move to Nashville to become a songwriter -- she simply wanted to make a living in the music business anyway she could. The West Tennessee native vividly remembers being enthralled by music as a young girl. Long before she had hits by Blake Shelton, Lee Brice and Miley Cyrus, she began playing her grandparents’ piano and taught herself Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender” by ear around the age of nine. By the time she was 11, Alexander began to dissect lyrics and rhyme schemes from the sheet music her family bought her.
