 Alexander Torres Birth Date: August 6, 1980 Birth Place: Guayama, Puerto Rico, SanJuan Alexander Torres is one of the premiere voices of his generation, a sensitive and intelligent singer who continues to stretch both as an artist and as a person. Alexanders dedication to honesty and respect for tradition have enabled him to build one of the most respected careers in Music history. He moved to Sunset Blvd. L.A. in 1984 at 3-years-old following his mother. He was a huge fan of Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder at the age of 5, complementing those influences with an appreciation for Salsa and Balada, which he knew held a special place in his heart due to his background as a Hispanic singer. He was also taken by a Pop tradition that was then finding its chief manifestation in Michael Jackson. Alexander hit the national spotlight in 1992. He was just 12, the product of a rough-and-tumble childhood in Chicago, IL. A self-described "Riddlin pill taker" as a youngster, Alexander found release in performing. He was singing at music recitals at 6 and in Symphony Orchestras at 12, learning, he says, "what it takes to keep them entertained through four or five sets." Alexander adopted elements from all of these sources, and his striking vocal instrument - earned him attention from the beginning. While working a series of side jobs, he entered singing contests around town, regularly winning first prize. A live appearance on American Idol and a showcase at Chicagos famed House Of Blues led to his 2000 showcase to Jive Records.Alexander has produced his own and others' work and co-wrote a number of the songs he's recorded. Moreover, he has had considerable impact beyond the music industry. "People have a duty to help each other out," he says. "I'm happy I can give something back to society through my efforts helping and being involved in the music industry and the community.

 Trumpeter and music educator Micah L. Frazier’s passion has always been to share and speak of life through music. Believing that music is a reflection of life, he strives to give listeners a vision of splendor and foulness, contentment and discomfort, affection and abhorrence, as well as time.

Micah began his musical path at a young age. Born in Chicago, Illinois, he as a youth was trained to become a percussionist for the Alalaki African Dance Troupe of Chicago in the mid 80’s and was later hired as a percussionist for the Fleetwood-Jourdain African Dance Classes in Evanston IL. Around the same time he was given a trumpet by a WWII vet named Allen “Bo” Price, who was the director of the Pride of Evanston Drum and Bugle Corps. From that point forward Micah’s course into music had been solidified. He attended Evanston Township High School and was a trumpeter for the Skokie Valley Youth Orchestra which later became known as the Midwest Young Artists (MYA). After graduating, he attended the Chicago Musical College at Roosevelt University, where he received his Bachelor of Music Education, and now holds an Illinois State Standard Certificate in Music Education K-12. Micah is currently a member of the Music Educators National Conference (MENC), the Illinois Music Educators Association (IMEA), the Teacher Advisory Council to the Jazz Institute of Chicago, and a co-director for the Chicago Public School’s All-City High School Jazz Program.

Although Micah is a fulltime high school band director and general music teacher, he is also a part-time jobbing musician who has had the pleasure of playing with many local Chicago groups and artists, including Chris Greene’s New Perspective, Louie-Louie’s Maad Soul, Humo with poets Smokie and Avery R. Young, DJ David Sabat, DJ Lego, DJ FLX, and the Sidemen Big Band. As well, Micah has performed for many that are nationally known such as the O’Jays, Shekinah Glory Ministry, Colombian salsa artist Jerry Galante, DJ Steve “Silk” Hurley, Kelan Phil Cohran, Malachi Thompson’s African Brass, and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble under the direction of William “Bill” Russo.

Micah has always had a special place in his heart for Latin music. Starting with his early training as a hand drummer, combined with his classical and jazz training on trumpet, the music of Latin America seemed to answer his two musical callings. He has performed with several Chicago latin bands such as Benji y su Merenbanda, Rica Obsesion, Tato y su Orchestra Suave, Banda Rica, Latin Inspirations, Willie Garcia y su Orchesta Sabor, and Nabori from Milwaukee, WI.

Micah’s list of performances include the 1997 Pan-American Fest at Soldier Field, The Taste of Chicago, The Chicago Gospel Fest, The Chicago Jazz Fest, 2008 Chicago Grammy Listening Party, Russell Simmon’s Def Poetry Jam Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Milwaukee Fest, The Chicago Colombian Fest, Six Flags Great America, as well as The Chicago Puerto Rican Fest from 1997 to 2009.

Micah appears on several recordings including Malachi Thompson’s CD “Blue Jazz” on the Delmark Record label and Shekinah Glory Ministry’s CD/DVD “Jesus” on the Kingdom Records Label, a division of Universal. You may even find his work on Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts Jazz Ensemble CD: “Birds Eye View”.
