Speaking about his role as a producer, he says, “By definition, my role as a producer is always collaborative…I knew that when I put out my first single as an artist, I’d want to collaborate with an unexpected combination of amazing talent, so Wiz, Elle, and X Ambassadors were perfect. We each brought very different perspectives and life experience to the song and the subject of heartbreak, which is what I think makes the track work so well.”

He just released his first solo offering featuring Wiz Khalifa, X Ambassadors and Elle King, a song called, ‘Not Easy’; the song was written by Alex, Sam Harris, Casey Harris, Adam Levin, Elle King and Wiz Khalifa. It is the #1 song on Spotify’s viral charts in the US, Canada and worldwide.
