A star from birth, D Alexander staged performances on a makeshift stage in his Miami home for his family. He demanded attention with cleverly planned skits and pop culture interpretations often followed by a dramatic rendition of ‘Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.” No one knew then that D Alexander was molding himself into the ground breaking and trail blazing artist he is today.

“My music stems from the deepest and most personal melodies of my untamed mind” explains the half Cuban half El Salvadorian music artist. “As an artist I infuse pop and dance music with infectious drum lines and sexually driven lyrics that we can all relate to once we let down our guards.”

D Alexander has noticed big changes in the music industry since he began recording four years ago. In the beginning of his career producers tried to force him into being a mainstream cookie cutter pop artist. Fearing his music would lose its identity and essence D Alexander resolved to remain true to his artistry even if it meant he would not achieve high record sales. “I said to the producers you can keep your money, cars, and chicks, just give me a mic and some glitter."

He sees other artist following a similar path. “Artists are finally taking a stand against the industry. I for one am relieved that I have remained true to my principals. The freedom to express myself honestly is what makes me feel beautiful.”

“Beautiful” is the name of D Alexander’s first release from his upcoming EP, Evocative, due out this fall. It is a song about finding beauty in struggle. After everything is said and done, D Alexander says it is life’s hurdles that make us powerful.

He also believes beautiful is a representation of the new music generation that allows an unconventional artist such as him to exist.

“Today’s youth are the first to realize that music doesn’t have to be black and white. I sing songs that might be considered more appropriate for female singers but my ability to show a different side of masculinity is what sets me apart from other male artists. I pull off the femininity the song demands, so why shouldn’t I sing it?”

Life, heartache and happiness are the three main ingredients that inspire D Alexander’s songwriting.

When he’s not performing, D Alexander is laughing a lot, hanging out with his best friend and living life to the fullest. Most importantly, however, he’s busy working on his music. D Alexander has found that setting out to dominate the music industry leaves little time for anything else.
