Singer AleXa will embark on her first U.S. tour from October.

Her agency ZB Label released the official schedule of the tour on its social media Thursday. According to the schedule, AleXa will kick off her tour in Jersey City on Oct. 18, then move on to seven other cities — San Juan, Atlanta, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The Korean-American singer recently won NBC’s “American Song Contest” (2022) in May. She was the sole K-pop contestant, competing against a total of 55 other competitors who each represented 49 other U.S. states, five territories and Washington D.C. She represented her home state of Oklahoma.

The singer has been on the rise ever since, appearing at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, on NBC’s popular talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and hosting fan meet-and-greet events in four U.S. cities, including New York and Atlanta.

AleXa debuted as a solo singer with the single “Bomb” (2019), which was released in both Korean and English. She first appeared on screens through two audition shows — Soompi’s “Rising Legends: Season 2” (2017), which she won, and Mnet’s “Produce 48” (2018).

AleXa is known for having futuristic concepts for her earlier songs, like “A.I Trooper” (2020), “Do or Die” (2020), “Villain” (2020) and “Revolution” (2020). Her latest single “Wonderland” (2022) earned the title of Best Original Song for NBC’s “American Song Contest” (2022).
