About Begonia
Begonia has many stories to tell and many iterations of life to walk you through, and she takes her fans on the journey with a stumbling grace and an uncanny wit. She is a true sight to behold, sometimes clunky but always beautifully and refreshingly entertaining. Begonia crafts some of the most honest pop music out there.
Begonia, the stage name of Winnipeg entertainer Alexa Dirks, launched her solo career in 2017 with the EP Lady in Mind featuring the #1 CBC Radio single “Juniper.” Her critically acclaimed full-length albums Fear (2019) and Powder Blue (2023) have earned her two JUNO Award nominations and two Polaris Music Prize nominations. Recognized by NPR as an “Artist You Need to Know,” Begonia is celebrated by her core fans for her powerful live performances, which Noisey describes as “obliterating the misery from this world one live performance at a time.”
Her captivating stage presence has opened doors for her to perform globally at clubs, theatres and festivals, connecting with audiences worldwide.
