Let’s go back to 2013 when Black was still in high school – he dropped his debut single titled Paris and soon after, found himself in the world of fashion.  Paris was eventually picked up for a Louis Vuitton campaign, a Saint Laurent men’s fragrance ad and Alexander Wang placed Alex in a high-profile campaign, which he worked alongside Kylie Jenner, Vince Staples, Zoe Kravitz, and Lexi Boling.

Three years later, Alex produced his own, full-length album, Haunted Paradise, and in 2018, signed with XO/Republic Records.

He then released his second, 8-track album, Pain and Pleasure and now in 2020, he’s back with a brand new album AND single.  Alex’s new album is titled ‘Dream Awake’ and features 12 brand new songs.
