Alexandria "Lexi" Zahra Jones (born August 15, 2000) is an American artist and singer-songwriter. She is the child of English singer-songwriter David Bowie and Somali-born American model Iman.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Jones was born on August 15, 2000 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City to David Bowie and 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 modelling 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 to 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]

From ten years old, Jones began struggling with mental health issues. She began self-harming at 11 and developed bulimia at 12. After her father's cancer diagnosis in 2014, Jones started abusing drugs and alcohol as a form of escapism. Her parents staged an intervention and forcibly sent her to a wilderness therapy program for three months.[9] After 3 months, Jones was sent to a residential treatment center in Utah for 13 months.[10] David Bowie died of liver cancer on January 10, 2016, when Jones was 15 years old.[11][12] When her father died, Jones was living at a residential treatment center in Utah. The last time she spoke to her father was two days earlier on January 8, his 69th birthday, where she said "I told him I loved him and he said it back, and we both knew".[13] She returned home at 16 years old.[10]

Career

[edit]

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".[14]

She released her first song in early 2021. Her debut album Xandri released on April 2, 2025 independently and without advertisement.[15] 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 cover art.[16] 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][17][18] 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."[19]
