Music

Genre is a construct. Music is the mission.

The music that I currently play is a diverse and chronological exploration of music birthed from the black art form. This can include classical music, jazz, gospel, R&B, funk, soul or pop music. Through original arrangements and diverse collaboration, Alexander offers unique music programming that touches on all edges of the black art form and journey. This can also include reimaginings of American music that is well known.
