Although he was born in London, England, in February of this year he was officially sworn in as a United States citizen. Watch Alex as he is invited to sing the National Anthem at the completion of his swearing in ceremony.
After a conversation regarding the promises and covenants of the Lord with America, Alex determined to incorporate those ideals into his latest music video which he began writing as he watched the World Trade Center towers collapse on 9/11. For years he wanted to complete the song, but could not put it all together until recently. The song became the title of his new album “Calling America.” Read the Lyrics HERE. This wonderfully patriotic song/video includes Native American dancers, a stone passed hand to hand with a special word on it (watch to the very end!), as well as a warning regarding the Lord’s sacred covenant with America found in Isaiah from the “Harbinger” book by Jonathan Cahn. It is all set to incredibly powerful music that brings all American’s, black, white, Native, etc. together and calls them to remember the greatness of this nation we call the United States of America..
