Beautiful Girls Beautiful Girls
Just a beautiful, 7 minute long, masterpiece of a mid tempo tune! Jill Scott and D'Angelo fans will love this!
Just Right Just Right
Super-beautiful sexy slow jam using the old 'There's Nothing Like This' bass riff by Omar. Play this over a romantic dinner or on Valentines day!
Come 'n' Get It Come 'n' Get It
Bwoy....I got offered $30,000 dollars for this tune in the U.S!! This is a HUGE tune, double time, grime reminiscent, uses the 'South Bank Show' Operatic lick
Little Miss Millie Little Miss Millie
Currently my most popular song, uptempo but soulful with an edge. Can you work out what the lyrics are about??? (HINT: it's NOT about a girl called Millie!!)
Mr. Alexander is back with a vengeance!! The Leicester born funk/soul phenomenom is best known for being the 1st british unsigned act EVER to sing at the Grammy Awards (2001, courtesy of James Brown himself!)
Mr. Alexander has also performed on the BBC2 Trevor Nelson show, Miami Urban Fashion week on Ocean Drive and the world famoous Ronnie Scotts Jazz club.
His 1st Album, "Friday Night to Sunday Morning" was a huge underground success, selling in the UK and Europe, Asia, Japan and the U.S.A! Mr. Alexander is back with a new album, available to buy on www.mr-alexander.com

He ain't blowing his own trumpet or anything like that, but ask Mr. Alexander why UK RnB acts don't enjoy the success that their U.S counterparts and he'll tell you straight. "Cos most of 'em are crap. People are always moaning that they don't get the breaks, you have to actually be good to get a break, mate".
Leicester born Mr. Alexander definitely knows how to express himself, in all ways. His favourite way is through music. Originally a rapper, Mr. Alexander first started singing when he was seventeen. He moved to London to pursue his new found talent in that same year.
In 1999, a homeless Mr. Alexander got his 1st break through Plutonium Rock Entertainment and his first album, "Friday Night To Monday Morning" was born.
News of a groundbreaking new artist spread ridiculously quickly from the underground up, the music industry and media likening him to greats such as Marvin Gaye, Prince, and Stevie Wonder , to name a few! From his 1st stage performance on a Trevor Nelson hosted show for BBC2, he has sung alongside the likes of Destiny's child, D' Angelo, Eve, and Carl Mackintosh of Loose Ends. Most famously, as James Brown's special guest at the 2001 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, which made Mr. Alexander the 1st British unsigned artist ever to sing at the Grammy's ! Remember "Oh Shit!"? That was Mr. A!
After working the shit out of Friday Night To Monday Morning and practically forcing the poor studio engineer into a life of slavery, Mr. Alexander is back with "Unreleased", a collection of songs that may never see the light of day again. Just a taster of things to come......
Look out for Mr. Alexander's "Bootlegs, Bangers and Ballads", produced by Capital FM's Simon Schoolboy Phillip, and check out the snips of the two tracks from the forthcoming main release, "Local Superstar"Have you performed in front of an audience?I have done a lot of live shows in L.A, Arizona, Miami and many places in the U.K. My sweetest moment was trashing the stage at an L.A gig after the lead singer of the Temptations took a dislike to me. Something to do with a female MTV presenter...

What up, Mr Alexander! I live in the US, its extremely hard to get your stuff over here.
Is your 1st album still on iTunes? I cant seem to find it on there. Could I get you to upload the title track of your 1st album (Friday Night Till)? I heard it played on Jazz-Not-Jazz - thats a web radio station.
Keep doing what you're doing and making that good music.
