Alexandria Tava’s classical roots run deep. Alexandria landed her first professional gig as a child voiceover artist for Magic Johnson’s HIV Prevention radio campaign and performed background vocals for Peter, Paul, and Mary. She graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center, performing alongside legends like Kathleen Battle under the baton of Seiji Ozawa.

Her résumé also includes appearances on Sesame Street, collaborations with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Westminster Choir College, and leadership roles in youth ensembles.

As a high schooler, she was named a state spokesperson and winner for the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey for her original anti-drug anthem, “Turn Away.” She later became the first student intern under multi-Grammy® winner Dr. Jan Folkson at Sound on Sound Studios, renowned for his work with Steely Dan and Disney Music Group. Alexandria performed on BET with the East Village Youth Gospel Choir and sang with Sounds of Glory from Middle Collegiate Church, championing emerging artists across urban music platforms.

Alexandria attended Boston’s Berklee College of Music as a Singer-Songwriter and Music Business undergraduate. However, during her attendance, she became popular as a DJ known as DJ Tava Luv, and her career quickly ascended — she became the first female DJ to host a show on Berklee College of Music’s BIRN network, held residencies with W Hotels, PUMA, and New York Fashion Week, and performed at Ultra Music Festival and The Standard Hotels. After parting ways with NYC Traxx, she managed her own bookings and creative direction. A pivotal shift came after DJing the Boston Democratic Convention, fueling her passion for civic engagement.

Alexandria’s passion for justice led her to grassroots leadership, where she directed operations for Field Strategies, achieving a 100% GOTV (Get Out the Vote) success rate. She received invitations to work with leaders like Susan McCue in Washington, D.C. and ultimately served as a Northeast strategist for President Obama's first and second presidential campaigns.

Her advocacy extends beyond elections. Alexandria has led youth empowerment initiatives and mural-based activism in underserved communities, celebrated the International Day of Yoga at the United Nations, and developed programming rooted in cultural healing, equity, and innovation.

She continued her education at Baruch College – Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, deepening her expertise in public service, nonprofit management, and advocacy. During her time there, she helped organize hackathons focused on app development for social change, assisted the New York City Museum Educators Roundtable to improve cultural arts accessibility for underprivileged CUNY students, and contributed to initiatives with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.

After witnessing friends and colleagues battle crises of addiction, mental illness, and suicide, Alexandria transitioned out of the mainstream entertainment industry, pivoting toward holistic healing. She became a Certified Holistic Healing Practitioner and holds a variety of credentials in yoga, mindfulness, meditation and martial arts.

In 2021, she founded Choose Love Music, LLC. a pandemic-born music and mindfulness entertainment startup focusing on the first ever certified holistic production methods to offer products serving both the holistic health market, mindfulness industry, and music/entertainment industry. Her work has been featured at Weill Cornell Medical Center with BuddhaBooths and Cove City Sound Studios and endorsed by iZotope. She has also collaborated with Peace Boat US and Parties for Peace, culminating in the United Nations' First World Oceans Day Music Festival.

In 2024, systemic injustice forced the closure of Choose Love Music and induced the collapse of Alexandria’s instability. The experience did not simply end a venture. It exposed the structural vulnerabilities she had long observed across institutions. Rather than retreat, she documented. The result became her eight-chapter manifesto, From Sound to Shaolin — a disciplined articulation of collapse, reconstruction, and the philosophical foundations of durable authority.

What began as disruption became doctrine.
