Alexander was born in Venezuela and began his musical career at age
7
singing in his father’s band El Combo Marabino. At a very young
age
he studied piano, classical voice, solfege and harmony at the
Conservatory of Music. During his four years there he also showed a
talent for composing his own songs. At age 16 he was given an important
recognition as The Juvenile Voice of Venezuela.
He then began his professional career with a popular local big
band. Alexander stayed with the band for three years and recorded
three albums. In 1992, he joined Los Melodicos, a 44-year-old famous
big
band. He remained with them for five years, made two videos and
toured Europe, North America and South America.
His desire to study English and to expand his musical knowledge
helped him decide to go to Boston and take classes at the Berklee
College of Music. Soon he was discovered by the Latino community
and began
participating in Latin, Puerto Rican and Dominican festivals
in the area and shared the stage with renowned artists such as
Toño
Rosario, Tito Rojas, Milly Quezada, Ruby Perez and Charly Cruz

music recognitions in America.
He is currently living in Boston and performs with a 13-piece
band all around the state and surrounding areas with great response
and favorable comments from the public.
Local radio stations played his merengue “Abrazame muy Fuerte” strongly
during Summer 2002, his first bachata recordings ”Celos” and “Hazme
Olvidarla” were among the most popular songs during Summer of
2003 and his version of the song “Año Viejo”becomes
very popular .
In May 2004, Alexander releases his first music video witht the
bachata “Celos” and releases his bachata production called “Sin
Titulo” (No tilttle) released at the same time in Spain, Canary
Islands.
His live shows include many of his own compositions and arrangements.
It is full of contagious rhythms and romanticism featuring him
