Born in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, to parents Anya and Tom Love, Pixie was an only child. Her mother was a school teacher and her father was a construction worker. Her parents often commented on how she had such an eccentric and creative imagination. She would make picture books about what she wanted her life to be like. She was fascinated with fairy tales and magical creatures. When she was 14, her parents separated causing her to move to the states with her mother in early 2004. She quickly adjusted to the American life by learning how to be bilingual, speaking both Swedish and English. She also took up ballroom dancing at the age of 15 which she grew to love. This is also when she first got a taste of competition life by competing and winning her school's Ballroom Dance competition. After that, her teacher noticed that Pixie had a beautiful singing voice. When she realized it herself, she then became interested in singing and went on to pursue a musical career.
|Career| By the age of 18, Pixie moved back to Finland and went on to compete in several different singing contests until she won her first one in 2008. The prize was to be given a recording contract which she gladly accepted and started to work on her first single, 'Misery' which peaked #3 in Finland and #15 in the world. Her next single, 'Children of the Moon' also peaked #3 in Finland but #7 in the world. Her debut album, 'LoveIsReal' debuted at #4 in Finland and #9 in the world but soon climbed it's way to the #1 spot in her hometown of Finland. Feeling great after her success, she looked to go on a mini tour to promote the album. When she returned, she was suddenly dropped from her label without any known reason. Angry by the decision, Pixie set out to move back to America where she wanted to expand her career. She has now grown weary of labels, afraid she might experience the same result in a new label but wants to be signed again. She is currently living in New Jersey where her mother also resides. Her father is living in Los Angeles, California. She released her debut American single 'Walk Alone on October 19th. It debuted #1 on the Digital Charts and #4 on the Airplay charts, giving Pixie her first ever #1 hit! Her second single 'Bold' debuted at #1 on the charts, giving her another number one hit single. Pixie was signed to Titanic Records in October after being rejected by Liberation/Nomad Records. She was the second artist to be signed after the label owners and founders, Teen Titans. She's currently recording her second album entitled Imagine.|Musical Influences|Pixie names numerous female artists as her inspirations for her songwriting and style. One of her biggest being Gwen Stefani. She stated that she loves how different and stylish she is without ever having to compromise her identity or integrity to have fans. She also takes after her in that they both have an obsession with Japanese culture and sound. She has often visited Japan, where she says she gets her influence for her fashion sometimes. Some other musical influences include Janis Joplin, Lauryn Hill, Phil Collins, and P!nk. These are only a few of the artists she listened to as a child, growing up, and cites them to be have made a major impact on her life and career. Pixie wants to be known as a multi-genre artist, not wanting to settle on just one specific sound but having a signature style. She doesn't want to limit herself and loves to explore the many possibilities of making music.
|Style and Public Image| Pixie's style and fashion varies from time to time. While she enjoys dressing up in lavish, unique costumes, she also enjoys wearing the regular wear of jeans and a tank top. One of her selling points has always been her different looks and styles. She loves Harajuku style street fashion. She mostly tends to go for the 'Gothic Lolita' look and the 'Kawaii' or 'Decora' fashion. Her love of color sometimes influences her hair style. She loves to color it in usually pink, purple, green, or blue. She has multiple piercings including a tongue ring, one below her lip, one and on her eyebrow. Her love for expression doesn't stop there either as she has tattoos, 5 to be exact. On her ankle, she has a butterfly and she as a letter 'E' that is a significant letter because it's the ending of her name, middle name, and last name. She also has two Latin phrases on her arms. On the right it reads, 'Amicus Humani Generis', which she translates to, 'I'm a friend of the Human Race' and the other on her left reads, 'Agnus Dei' 'Servant or Lamb of God.' Her last tattoo is on her neck in Chinese which says 'Music'. She's looking to get 2 more; fairy wings and a lotus flower on her back. She occasionally wears three dots along her eye which stand for Integrity, Love, and Unity. After her debut album was released, the public tried to label her as a 'Goth' which she quickly denied stating she was more of a 'Bubblegum Goth'. She gives credit to the Spice Girls saying they influenced her 'Bubblegum Goth' style and said she was more of a 'Gothic spice girl.' She believes strongly in 'Freedom of Speech' and thinks people should not be told what to say. She thinks everyone should express themselves in their own way. She states she has no set religion but believes in God but will leave it at that.
|Personal Life| She believes in "Reincarnation; the belief that the soul, upon death of the body, comes back to earth in another body or form." She states that she's always believed in this philosophy ever since she was a little girl. Pixie was also taught to believe in Angels and Fairies, through the teachings of her mother. She believes that everyone has a guardian angel watching over them and a fairy to help them in life. Her belief in Reincarnation gives her the adventurous lifestyle and mindset she has today, believing that she'll die and come back as something or someone far greater than who she is today. This also leads her to believe that life is all about caring for the soul and spirit and not so much as caring about worldly possessions as much. Even though the 21 year old love glamor and crazy fashion, she does not mind wearing simple clothing for herself and not living such a lavish lifestyle. Her life revolves around 3 major things in life; Integrity, Love, and Unity. She states, these things are necessary to live and to be successful.SinglesAlbumsEPs-Pixie signs with Titanic Records [10.28.12]-'Walk Alone' is released digitally [10.19.12]-'Walk Alone' video released and receives over 1 million views on VEVO [10.22.12]-YAHOO!
