An endless passion for music, for voices,

Alex Veach is a New York based emerging hip hop artist and musician. While media had recently given his gender transition attention, Alex’s real talents are in his creative pursuits. Trained in classical piano and jazz trombone since the age of 6, he has competed at the state and international level.
He received All-State A+ rankings in the New York State School of Music Association (NYSSMA) for both instruments throughout his schooling and in 2005 was awarded the Eastman School of Music Award. While completing his undergraduate and graduate degrees in biomedical engineering and pharmacology from Cornell University in New York, he toured in concert with the university orchestra in Germany.
Alex has also joined different musical teams in the past, including dixie groups, chamber ensembles, jazz bands, and wind symphonies citing his versatility as one of his major sources of inspiration. Today, while working professionally as a scientist he has produced his first hip hop album release which features major artists and his original electronic music and rap style. He hopes to collaborate with other recording artists and vocalists after the album is finished and perform live.

IT NEVER ENDS
Passion never dies. It grows
stronger every day.
Alex began writing his first songs in middle school. He enjoyed composing original material even while he was encouraged by his piano teachers to master classical repertoire. Gratified for his training with his mother, international concert pianist Arlene Portney, he was able to learn and enjoy works such as Beethoven inventions, Chopin etudes, Rachmaninoff preludes, Bach preludes and fugues, pieces by Debussy, Ravel, and more. On trombone, having studied with New York pro Don DuPont he picked up jazz bands and show-tunes. When living in Los Angeles, Alex found experienced music management which gave his passion for composing lyrical melodies, poetry, and prose new direction. With a great deal of creative energies, compositions, and tracks building, Alex seems ready to charge the hip hop scene and potentially transform the genre altogether.
