“Alex is no stranger in the business - She is a mega-star in the making”

…These words are repetitively said about our New York Talent – Alex Young…

New York’s Talent began at the tender age of five

when she featured on the front cover of the well known “New York Times Sunday Fashion Magazine”

and has worked in the industry ever since.

Whether it has been working as a cast member for “Sesame Street”,

being on Clear Channel’s Z100 radio show two years in a row, in commemoration of the events of 9/11 with her composed song “Heart of America”, which was a sign of her personal tribute,

or just simply rocking to the sounds of Elmo in her Elmosize video

……

it is no wonder she has become so popular!

Alex has always seen music as something special,
she explains that:

“Music is universally understood and recognized to evoke specific emotions which are virtually the same whether a person lives in Ghana, Nottingham or anywhere on the planet.”

She states that throughout her music career she has been influenced by many artists, such as Mariah Carey,Whitney & Celine.

She mentions that: “Every time I am singing or performing, I enjoy thinking that a little bit of each of them is inspiring my sound”

Our New York girl enjoys every single moment on stage. She believes that: “there’s just something about performing live that can’t be recreated or captured that’s so fascinating -- and indescribable.”.

Alex is keen to evolve her music and take on new forms.

She is truly “a fan of such styles as dance and indie rock in addition to rap”,

One of the young talent’s dreams would be to work alongside Prince, whom she describes as:

“having no musical boundries” which she personally admires. So lets hope the mega star will fulfil her dream someday.

However,

….one thing is for sure…

..Alex Young is a star and will continue developing into an even bigger star..

…Check out her tunes…

And now Ladies and Gentlemen give it up for

“ALEX YOUNG”
