Bio
Alexander Cardinale is an indie singer/songwriter and actor. His music can be downloaded NOW on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/AlexanderCardinaleiTunes - OR download MP3 and/or ORDER A CD on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/AlexanderCardinaleMP3 Alexander Cardinale (aka Xander) was born in Monterey, California. He was raised in a musically diverse home. His mother Laura was a disc jockey and manager of the local classical station, 92.7 KBOQ. As a young boy, Alexander was always encouraged to study the classics. His father Vince played the guitar and introduced Alexander to the iconic singer/songwriters of the 60s, 70s & 80s. When Alexander was 3 years old, he told his mom he wanted to play the violin. He began studying the Suzuki method with local teachers, and went on to be 1st chair violin at the local youth chamber orchestra. Alexander now lives in Los Angeles where he works as a professional singer, songwriter, producer & actor. He has worked as an actor in Film, TV and Web Shows. He can be seen in his first starring role in Chad Peter's dark comedy "Apocalypse, CA" now available on DVD, Netflix & iTunes. He had a combined role (both on and off screen) when David Fincher cast him to play the jewish steel drummer in the film "The Social Network." Alexander was seen on screen as the steel drummer, but also recorded the drums for the soundtrack to the scene as well. Alexander co-writes his songs with his producer, Morgan Taylor Reid (Available on iTunes). Morgan also produces/co-writes for other bands, including: Chris Brown, Plug-In Stereo, The Ready Set, and the new Backstreet Boys album, among others. Morgan had been producing Alexander since they met on college in 2005. Recently, Alexander's song "Sick Of Dreaming," was the featured music montage in episodes of One Tree Hill (CW) and Rookie Blue (ABC). Other songs Alexander has written have been in episodes of Ghost Whisperer (CBS), Castle (ABC), Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Friends With Benefits (NBC), 90210 (CW) & more. Alexander has also co-written (top-line) songs for other artists. In the spring of 2011 Alexander launched his fan pages online. He now has a dedicated following of over 500,000 fans on his Facebook & Twitter pages. The word seems to be spreading via electronic grass roots about his music. Today he continues to perform live, establishing his position as an emotionally revealing and talented new artist. He is now on tour with pop star Aaron Carter promoting his new single "One Shot". He recently finished a sold out NATIONAL TOUR, opening for YouTube sensations & winners of NBC's THE SING OFF: Pentatonix. In the current renaissance of pop singer/songwriters, Alexander Cardinale stands out with dense, contagious melodies and honest, poetic lyricism. AWARDS: This year, the Hollywood Music in Media Awards honored Alexander with the HMMA for 'Best Song in a TV Series' for his song "Traffic Lights" featured in the show "90210" on the CW network. He was the first place winner on the "USA Songwriting Competition", the "Show Me The Music" contest, and the "Seagate Music Competition" among others. He was invited to play five showcases at SXSW in 2012 and 2013, including Quantum Collective AmazonMP3, AudioWall, Red Gorilla & more. He's also showcased at: The Indie Music Fest, NAMM, and the DRIVEN Music & Art Conference. He's been a finalist in the national and international competitions: The UK Songwriting Contest, Unsigned Only, and the prestigious International Songwriting Competition (ISC). Music Connection Magazine named Alexander Cardinale one of their "HOT 100 UNSIGNED ARTISTS" of the year, for the 2nd year in a row! -

Xander! I came over to listen to your music and listened to all of it. And I like ALL of it! "One Last Try" is my favorite...but I'm always a sucker for the ballad-type songs. :) The best thing about your music is it's DIFFERENT from everything else. Good luck to you,and hope to hear you over the waves soon!
