Alexander O’Neal came to prominence in the middle of the 1980s with a stream of hits such as ‘If You Were Here Tonight’, ‘Saturday Love’, ‘Never Knew Love Like This’, ‘Criticize’ & ‘Fake’.
Originally signed in his early days by the late legend Prince, he has secured his name in the RnB history books, with a career that has spanned over thirty years.
Hailing from Minneapolis, Alexander has created a cult appreciation across the globe, that transends age and genre. His back catalogue transporting his singles into the UK and Billboard top tens as well as a triple platinum selling album and ever expanding discography. Having flirted briefly with and quickly shunned a celebrity TV career, Alexander’s heart is firmly in music and he remains loyal to the thousands who buy his records, with an ever present passion to keep his sound alive and contemporary.
2018 will see the release of Alexander’s first studio album for 15 years, a blues album. He is also currently in the studio re- recording his most famous album, the million selling smash Hearsay, due for release in time for Xmas 2017.
