Written by Alex Jacke, writer on multiple hit records for various artist’s including Jason Derulo, Madison Beer, Kehlani and Kanye West, and Liz Rodriguez (Viva! Makossa Magic), ‘My Crew’ was recorded in North Hollywood, California just ahead of the recording artist’s thirteenth birthday.
The debut single is about the teen’s closest friends, who have been with him since kindergarten. Having migrated from Spain to London to Los Angeles when he was three, all friendships great and small are important, “It’s been a tough year for everyone, and so I wanted to sing songs that people could relate to and sing together whatever they were doing,” said, Alexander. “For me, My Crew is a song to celebrate my friends who have stuck with me through thick and thin. We all need a good crew around us, especially in times like these, and I am grateful to have mine since day one.”
Alexander, who against all odds, recorded three records in May, at age twelve, during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and a new virtual school system, was born in Marbella, Spain. The SAG-AFTRA actor is best known for his voice-over work on the popular animated series Bee and Puppycat on Cartoon Hangover, where he plays Bee’s loveable landlord, Cardamon.
Other acting and voice over credits include the 2020 Golden-Globe winner and Academy-nominee Missing Link, Lance Kinsey’s feature-film All-Stars, and Flock of Four, set in 1959 Los Angeles, directed by Greg Caruso. The versatile performer has also appeared in various national TV commercials and print campaigns. In 2015, Alexander took to the stage joining the cast of ‘Appropriate’ in the highly acclaimed Centre Theatre Group production at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
Kicking off the trilogy, ‘My Crew’ will be available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, Pandora, DEEZER, iHeartRadio, Google Play, Xbox Groove and more!
