Alexandria Tava is a Certified Holistic Producer, advisor, and writer building a Framework to offer a structured method for how people and institutions rebuild after collapse.
Her path began on some of the country's most distinguished stages — Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center — and continued at Berklee College of Music, where she studied singer-songwriting and Music Business. A DJ set at the Massachusetts Democratic Convention redirected her toward political work: she directed field operations for Field Strategies and served as a Northeast strategist for Barack Obama's first and second presidential campaigns.
After witnessing the human cost of institutions and authority operating without accountability, Alexandria stepped away from mainstream entertainment to study how people heal, rebuild, and reclaim authority over their lives — training as a Certified Holistic Healing Practitioner alongside years of discipline in Shaolin martial arts and Iaido swordsmanship. In 2021, she founded Choose Love Music, LLC, developing a method she calls Certified Holistic Production: the integration of music, sound-based wellness, and ethical creative direction. Its 2024 collapse became the foundation of her manifesto, From Sound to Shaolin.
Today, through Alexandria Tava, LLC, she works at the intersection of media, holistic wellbeing, and public affairs — building frameworks, programs, and public-facing work for people and institutions rebuilding after disruption.
