Alex J Roberts, born and raised in Irvine California, picked up a guitar at age 10. He played steadily in a metal band for a few years through out high school. After realizing that this style didn’t satisfy his musical taste, he decided to follow a different path. Alex started writing seriously while in Colorado in the Winter of 2007. After returning to California, Alex decided to write and record his own Album. Alex’s first Album “ Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” was recorded in various locations through out Southern California, and was finished in January of 2009.
