Singer/songwriter Alex Boyd joined the roster of Artists for Artists in late 2007 and is working on an album project, his first, produced by Tommy Henriksen. He will appear in videos to support the singles and is always busy composing new songs. Alex is a singer, actor, dancer, composer, vocal arranger, guitarist and keyboardist. At 23, he already has a rich history in the entertainment business, and comes to AFA Music Group from McLean, Virginia, via Hollywood.

He had a supporting role in the 2006 film, “Karla,” and has another supporting role in the horror/thriller, “Lost Signal,” slated for release in 2008. He has appeared in numerous commercials and guest television spots in recent years and gained attention several years ago as one of the finalists on the reality competition show, Fame.

As a teenager, he was cast in Debbie Allen's first production of “Soul Possessed,” which was performed at the JFK Center for the Performing Arts, as well as her follow up productions of “Dreams.” He was educated at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington D.C. and the renowned Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, studying opera and classical voice. He has been performing on stage since he was a child.

The past year has seen Alex in front of a more widespread audience, including his appearance as a singer in a Cingular Ringtone Commercial during the American Idol show. He also performed with Tyrese on New Years Eve and headlined Beyonce’s post-concert party in San Diego.

Here’s what Alex has to say about his career and his experience with Artists for Artists:

“The successful artists are the real artists now. When I was focusing on both acting and music, I had a hard time making meaningful strides in either one. It was kind of overwhelming to try and launch two careers at the same time. Once I decided to take a break from acting and focus on music, that's when I became the artist that I am today. AFA Music, and the way that Tommy Henriksen works in the studio, they really cater to being an artist and being an individual. The first experience I had in studio with Tommy was magical. My vocals, which tend to be more pop/soul, were a great blend with Tommy's sounds, which are more electronic rock. We created something special. Something fresh that people will be happy to listen to, rather than something that has to be forced down their throat or tattooed in their memory banks. This is an awesome opportunity for an independent artist. The masses just aren't interested in these formulaic, cookie cutter artists anymore.”
