Alex Boye is a passionate artist with golden voice. Alex was born and raised in London, England and went from hip-top to mainstream Christian rock. He performed with a band called Awesome and tasted fame while working with the group. Alex made the decision to back away from the rock lifestyle and the mores of the industry. A meeting with Craig Jessop at an LDS music festival and other life-changing events led him to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church). He has never looked back. In addition to his legacy in the States and in the Midwest, Alex dreams of reaching the mainstream with his music. He sings his testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alex has sung with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and is in demand as a youth speaker. For youth, he presents what he calls "concert-sides." Evening gatherings for youth are usually called "Firesides" (whether there's a fire or not), and usually include a special speaker discussing a spiritual subject. Alex's presentations are evenings of heart-to-heart conversations about life and gospel principles, entwined with video clips, vocal performance, and sometimes, dance. Alex minces no words. He comes from a background where choice was everything. Alex identifies satan's influence in music and media. He also impresses youth with his story of leaving fame and fortune to follow Christ.
During the celebration of Black History month in February of 2009, Alex rendered 4 beautiful solos, original Negro-spirituals to a stirred audience--during the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s broadcast of “MUSIC & THE SPOKEN WORD," under the direction of Mack Wilberg and President Mac Christensen.
Alex has a new single coming out, called "Crazy for You," and which will be available on iTunes!
