In the highly competitive and often hyper-critical world of popular music, finding a young musician with enough substance to impress his peers is easier said than done. Having that same artist be able to effectively bridge the gap between musically relevant and commercially appealing is even less likely - enter Alex Alberti. The 30-year old singer/songwriter/producer from Miami, FL possesses a soulfully fluid voice that echoes the stylings of his musical heroes: Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire and Brian McKnight.
Alberti has harnessed the knowledge gained as a classically trained instrumentalist and coupled it with the lessons learned as an informal student of soul music since childhood - thus creating a unique brand that exudes refinement. Take a listen and ready your ears - this is music that evokes feeling, encourages thought, and speaks directly to the heart.
More recently, Alex won the 2007 Music City Songwriting Competition, in which over 2,000 applicants across the U.S. vied for the grand prize: an all expense paid trip to Nashville, Tennessee to re-record the winning song with acclaimed country music producer Mark Wright and a performance spot at the XM Satellite Radio show, Heroes Behind the Music, hosted by country music superstar, Phil Vassar.
