About Me

In a few words, I really don't consider myself a "musician" but more of a songwriter/producer and music lover. I fart around with the geetar and other instruments 'til I hear somethin' I like; I'll lay it down over pre-produced drum loops I arrange using Cakewalk software...then I'll build from there...bass, keys, lyrics & vocals, etc. (not necessarily in that order). Everything I play is by ear. What you're listening to is the result of my musical inspirations. If you like what you hear, I'd love to hear your comments. If anyone's interested in collaborating for fun through e-mail, that'd be cool. I've worked with Derek Neece, Thom Frazier and most of all Shad Warrell from Cali who has some kind of alien psychic thang goin' on. On the personal side, I grew up in San Benito Texas, moved across the globe to Harlingen Texas, married to my best friend Martha, work as a Creative Director for a local TV station producing commercials, love movies & TV mainly that depict real life situations or experiences and of course music, I can spend hours in a cool record store, like anything artistic really, love a good rock concert, enjoy exercise when it's fun and I can get my ass off the couch, love the beach (South Padre Island TX), no REAL kids just 2 dogs and a cat who we love and spoil rotten and my good friends are the same freaks I grew up with. Drop a line anytime. Peace In...aleXANDER

Deep Thoughts w/ Jack Handy...need I say more?

If I could be a bird, I'd be a Flying Purple People Eater because then people would sing about me and I could fly down and eat them because I hate that song. Once while walking through the mall a guy...
