ALEX , Romantic Latin Singer/Composer

About Me

ALL MUSIC / LYRICS ARE WRITTEN AND SUNG BY ALEX (ALEJANDRO) AMEZCUA (C) 1982-2008.
..
With soaring, romantic ballads, this Mexico City born artist fuses the passion of Latin music with the stylish billboard hits of his time. His influences are a as diverse as the evolutionary music of the Beatles, the standards of Frank Sinatra and certainly not to be overlooked, his rich mariachi heritage. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, this third generation singer/songwriter also had the privilege of performing with the legendary Mariachi Vargas.

ALEX taught himself to play the piano at age 4 and the guitar at age 7. At 10 years old he composed his first song and has continued ever since. At the tender age of 14, ALEX began his professional singing career by joining the family's Mariachi Guadalajara de Oscar Amezcua. He has performed all over the world and wowed audiences with his powerful and melodic voice.
Having been raised in San Diego, CA, combined with such a rich Hispanic upbringing, ALEX is a natural writer, composer and singer of his music in both Spanish and English. From traditional Mariachi music, to soulful R&B, to his own unique "latin pop"!
This album is the synergetic culmination of ALEX's exceptional love of music! With his voice now seasoned and sultry, his haunting melodies and moving lyrics come to life at last with the assistance of the world class production team of Bob Mann and Allan Schwartzberg.

Con sus elegantes baladas románticas, este artista nacido en la hermosa Ciudad de México, funde la pasión de la música latina con los éxitos modernos de su tiempo. Sus influencias son tan diversas como la música evolutiva de los Beatles, los estándares de Frank Sinatra y seguramente sin pasarlo por alto, su herencia tan rica de la música de mariachi. Siguiendo los pasos de su padre y abuelo, este cantante/compositor de canciones de la tercera generación también tuvo el privilegio de actuar con el legendario Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.
ALEX se enseñó tocar el piano a la edad de 4 años y la guitarra a la edad de 7 años. A los 10 años él compúso su primera canción y ha seguido desde entonces. En la edad sensible de 14 años, ALEX comenzó su carrera de canto profesional afiliándose al Mariachi Guadalajara de Oscar Amezcua (su papá). Él se ha presentado por todo el mundo y auditorios donde el publico se han impresionado mucho con su voz poderosa y melódica.
Siendo criado en San Diego, CA, y combinado con una crianza hispana rica, ALEX es un escritor natural, compositor y cantante de su música tanto en español como en inglés. ¡Desde la música de Mariachi tradicional, a sentimental R&B, a su propio "latín pop"!
Este álbum es la culminación sinérgica del amor excepcional que siente ALEX por la música! Con su voz ahora sazonada y acojedora, sus melodías que frecuentan y poema lírico móvil cobran vida por fin con la ayuda del equipo de producción de clase mundial de Bob Mann y Allan Schwartzberg.
