Berel Alexander is poised to be a breakout musical act of 2012. A singer-songwriter of extraordinary depth, and a performer with charisma to captivate any crowd, Alexander has built a strong northern California fan base since the 2009 release of his debut album, Hooked. His musical influences range from 1970’s soul and R&B, to folk giants like James Taylor, and all the way to modern neo-soul and hip-hop.
In 2010, he won the Malibu Music Awards “Unplugged” category for his catchy love song, “Started With A Handshake”. Alexander has performed in New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the eastern Sierras and most recently at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where he played a sold-out show with his vibe-y backing band, The Lowdown.
Alexander is currently in the studio recording tracks for his next release, an EP titled, All Over It, as well as developing music for the upcoming independent feature film, Messina High.
