A few months back, I got a song in my Soundcloud drop box and loved it. It was a new soulful voice in the world of autotune mania. It was a breath of fresh air in the heartbreak that is 808s. It was Alex Boyd and the song was “Light Up Tonight.” In the months following this song post, I’ve talked to Alex quite a bit and have been able to follow his progression through his ever growing career. Now signed under Jive, he is working on his first album to be released in the future. For those of you lucky enough to be in the West Hollywood area on September 18, you’ll have quite the show to see. However, for those of us who aren’t on the west coast, here’s a small taste of what Alex does live.

Alex sang The Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America last week at a Dodgers game. Unfortunately, his performance was not broadcast. Luckily, we’ve got a cell phone recording of each song. And even though, it’s not television HD quality, it’s all you need to hear Alex win over the crowd with his amazing vocals.
