Young Alex Essoe Attended Drama Classes

During the previous interview with Anthem, Essoe further revealed that she attended drama classes from a young age. By the age of 17, she had already played the lead in Medea and did a couple of modeling gigs.

After training at the acting school in Vancouver for three years, she made her industry debut in the year 2008, where she starred in short movies and TV shows like Reaper, Free to Go, GHB, and Surviving Crooked Lake.
