Alexandria "Lexi" Zahra Jones (born August 15, 2000) is a British-American artist and singer-songwriter. [1]
Jones was born on August 15, 2000 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City to English musician David Bowie and Somali American model Iman. [2] She has one older half brother, film director Duncan Jones (b. 1971), from her father's first marriage to American actress Angie Bowie. [3] She also has an older half sister, Zulekha Haywood (b. 1978), from her mother's second marriage to former American NBA basketball player Spencer Haywood. [4] [5]
Jones lived a private life, despite her parents' public lives. She was offered modeling jobs, however Iman rejected the offers, citing her own experiences as a model and wanting her daughter to live a private life for as long as possible. [6] Iman went on say "Every agency, every designer, called me to say: ‘If she wants to, we’d love for her to model for us.’ I said: ‘No, she doesn’t.’ I know why they wanted to her to model. It’s because she is David Bowie’s daughter.” [7]
Jones had an early interest in art as a child and took classes early on, becoming more serious about her work in her mid teens. [8]
Bowie died of liver cancer on January 10, 2016, when Jones was 15 years old. [9] [10]
Jones moved to Los Angeles in 2018, working as a photographer and fashion designer. In May 2023, she launched her own website, selling her artwork. Later that year, Jones launched her first clothing range online with the slogan "ALXX". [11]
She released her first song in early 2021. Her debut album Xandri released on April 2, 2025 independently and without advertisement. [12] The album incorporates elements of pop, electronic, and indie rock. Jones wrote, produced, and performed all 12 tracks on the album, as well as made the coverart. [13] The album received positive reviews. Madeleine Rousell, of The Independent , wrote "Her ability to seamlessly glide between genres suggests she has musical skills that transcend one genre." [1] [14] [15] Following the release of the album, Jones spoke out about being compared to her father, noting she is "not trying to fill his shoes" rather "just trying to find [her] own peace." [16]
Jones has been open about struggling with mental health issues throughout her life. She has spoken about using art as a coping mechanism to get out of dark places. [11]
