From the moment Alex stepped into the car, I felt this sense of warmth and grounded energy. We talked about his upbringing in Denmark, his dad from Uruguay, and how those roots shaped his voice—literally and creatively. I loved hearing about his “full circle” moment being on Ted Lasso, but what really stuck with me was how intentional he is with his music today. He's building a new album, and every layer of it reflects that sense of unity he talked about. This was such a reflective, inspiring ride.The song we made “Die Young" comes out Friday October 17th, listen here:https://theweeklybeat.ffm.to/songsplaylistWe're releasing a new episode and song EVERY SINGLE WEEK so be sure to subscribe and join this ambitious journey of music-making and storytelling!
