Biography
Alex is a Featured Artist on Radio Disney for
December!!!!
December 18th, a star was
born! Alex Jasin has been called “The Next Big Thing” by the Miami
Herald and El Nuevo Herald. Michael
Jackson told Alex, “you are truly a great performer and you will be
a big star soon” and Parkland Life Magazine named Alex “The Prince of
Pop”. Everywhere he goes he has stolen the attention of audiences of all
generations.
At six months old he began to sing harmonies while he listened to his
brother, Jon, play Bach and Mozart on the piano. Alex joined Jon at the
piano and they both sang and played when Alex was five. They called the
duo, “The Jasin Brothers”. They both are classically trained pianists
playing for more than a decade. Both Alex and Jon decided to change the
direction of their duo. Jon wanted to write the music and Alex wanted to
sing it.
Alex auditioned for Transcontinental Records, who started the careers of
The Backstreet Boys and N’Sync.
They encouraged Alex’s dream and explained he was too young at that
time, but to continue singing and gaining experience.
Alex proved his determination as he juggled “A’s” in school (always the
priority) while he traveled to Orlando every weekend for vocal/acting
lessons and began recording. DM Records, in Florida, offered him a
recording contract to be part of a boy/girl singing group. Alex learned
about making the right choices for his career and decided not to sign
with that label. The song “Choices” was written by his brother Jon from
that experience and Alex continued to record songs with Jon music from
the age of 9.
Alex’s show continued to grow as he added the XL dancers. They traveled
for the next couple of years and performed at many well known events.
Alex knows the importance of giving back and donated his show to many
charities such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, United Way and Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation just to name a few.
Alex took his show on the road throughout the US and the Caribbean. The
next two years began with Radio Disney in South Florida then he was off
to L. A. to perform for a sold out audience at the famous “House of
Blues”. Sony Records requested Alex to record a song for them in the
spring and by the summer they were headed to the Palms Hotel in Las
Vegas. Then Alex was asked to bring his show to the islands of Jamaica
and Curacao. The year wrapped up with the Winterfest Boat Parade and the
Walt Disney World/CBS Christmas Tree Lighting Special on Alex’s
birthday.
In August of this year Alex Jasin was named as the opening act for the
NextFest Tour’s Florida shows. The tour was a national concert event put
on by Live Nation consisting of musical acts,
Aly & AJ,
Corbin Bleu and
Drake Bell. Alex heated up the
audience and was a tremendous success. The next stop is in December.
Then he will be the national featured artist on Radio Disney and will be
appearing in the Wintefest Boat Parade.
Alex has also been in the studio writing and recording his own music
which lets him express his feelings. Making music is Alex’s platform to
send out a positive message and encourage kids to grow as well rounded
individuals. Alex has been told he’s a cross between
Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine
of Maroon 5 and Michael Jackson.
Alex works hard at his music and touring but he also makes time to do
other things he loves. When he’s home he likes to hang out with his
friends, go to the movies and always makes time for the gym. He’s a
regular kid, with an extraordinary dream.
As stars of today get more famous they also get older, so what is next
for the future of pop music. There’s one answer in the next generation
of pop stars…..Alex Jasin [from his
