Name: Alex
Age: 20
Music has always been the backbone of my life. I believe it is what inspires and creates. What has always been so amazing to me is that music is universally understood and recognized to evoke specific emotions which are virtually the same whether a person lives in Ghana, Nottingham or anywhere on the planet. Music has played a major role in my life from the beginning.

I remember music constantly playing in my house from an early age. I was exposed to a wide-range of artists who have been influential in my life and career. Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Classical, and everything in between have helped create who I am as an artist and the direction I want to take my life.

One of the greatest moments for me as an artist was when, at 14, I heard one of my songs played on Clear Channel's Z100 radio show two years in a row, in commemoration of Sept. 11th.

Creating that song, Heart of America, was my introduction to studio recording and, although I understand that process much better now and enjoy what goes into it, I think of myself more as a live performer. There's just something about performing live that can't be recreated or captured that's so fascinating -- and indescribable. You get such a high from performing live. I think that's what I love most about it.

If I were to describe my sound, I'd have to say that it's really a mixture of pop, hip-hop & R&B and is evolving into something a bit more quirky and layered. That's another thing I love about music... it can always evolve and take on new forms. I'm really excited about the direction my music is heading and hope to never stop evolving as an artist.
Country: United States
Music: Aretha, Sinatra, Celine, Mariah, Whitney, Diana Krall, and Sade have always inspired me as well as newer artists who are creative, and quirky, with their sounds -- like Jamie Lidell, the Guggenheim Grotto, Scissor Sisters, Nick Drake, and Rufus Wainwright...
