After performing almost 200 shows since releasing his debut blues album Nothing To Lose in March 2007, teen guitarist, singer-songwriter, indie recording artist, Alex Tintinalli has received both local, national and international recognition.
In June 2008, Alex was awarded the prestigious Kitchener-Waterloo Arts Award for his contribution to the arts in his local community. In addition, Alex had a feature interview in the May/June issue of the U.K.’s largest blues magazine Blues Matters Magazine and more recently, Alex was awarded CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award at The Tremblant International Blues Festival in July 2008.
To support his musical efforts, Alex co-founded his own independent record label, Scarlet Dragon Productions in 2006 with his parents Leo and Jackie who serve as his management team and run the company. In addition to his debut CD release in 2007, Alex also released a DVD “Live At The Wax†which was recorded in front of over 400 fans during his CD release party in March that year. Alex’s music has also been included on two local area blues compilation CD’s.
His intense, soulful music continues to receive world-wide airplay and has charted in the top 10 of the Living Blues Report for January, February and March 2008 thanks to a growing fan base around the globe.
Currently Alex is in the studio recording a solo acoustic EP project (due out soon). His new music is a rhythmic blend of rich lyrics spilling over with an abundance of passion that will uplift your spirits and is often compared to the music of John Mayer, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson.
Alex is a versatile performer and is available for hire as a solo artist, duo or a full four piece band arrangement and includes his original material blended with list of cover songs spanning multi-genres and decades.
