Mike Alexander has been involved in the arts in some form or another his whole life. He and his five siblings would gather around the kitchen table and sing along to whatever record happened to be spinning on the turntable: Simon and Garfunkel, Chad Mitchel Trio, Kingston Trio, Peter Paul & Mary, CSN&Y, the Eagles, anything with harmonies. He proved to have a knack for harmonies. Starting in grade school, he acted in plays through high school and college. He wrote his first song when he was 13 and has honed his abilities as a song writer through the years. Inspired by the likes of Paul Simon, Neil and Tim Finn, Sting, Glenn Tillbrook and Chris Difford, he gravitates toward a unique turn of phrase. Bass guitar is his home, but will be found on stage playing guitar, mandolin, keys here and there, and spoons if the song will have it.
Currently he has moved in a new direction, using the skills he learned as a Theater and Mass Media major in college to pursue a career as a voice actor.
