About Alexander ONeal
Blessed with an incredibly powerful voice and the ability to bring out the best in either a ballad or a dance track - Alexander O'Neal has built up a reputation as one of the world's finest contemporary soul singers.
Alex started his early days on the local club scene in Minneapolis and progressed to releasing a string of huge-selling albums, establishing himself as one of the world's great entertainers.

Born in Natchez, Mississippi - an ex college football player, Alexander experienced his first musical ventures in local clubs in his home city and proceeded to link up with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to form Flyte Time. The trio were invited by local vocalist Prince to become his full time backing band.
Musical differences led to Alexander departing and going on to form a hard rock band but six years later his musical partnership with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis was rekindled when he agreed for them to write and produce his debut Album - Alexander O'Neal - on the Tabu label distributed by CBS/EPIC.
So began a career which has spanned 25 years and established Alexander at the top of his field, working and collaborating with stars such as Patti Labelle, Mica Paris, Janet Jackson, Gladys Knight and Cherelle to name but a few.
