Artist / Singer-Songwriter / Multi-Instrumentalist
William Alexander, a SSW with roots in Okinawa, expresses the essence of introspective bedroom folk through his vast artistic world. The strong, gritty soul of his early work gives way to a softer mood, inviting the listener to explore within. The simple yet sophisticated rich vocal tone and flowing rhythm of the nylon string guitar are reminiscent of the greats of Brazilian Tropicália in the 1970s, such as the young Caetano Veloso and Erasmo Carlos.
His songs explore themes of self-actualization and various forms of love, moving between observation and invisible mystical concepts. In today’s world of fast fashion and self-expression, William Alexander listens to the opposite. Being modest is not an escape, but rather a courageous choice to face the music, oneself, and the cries of one’s soul hidden deep within.
