About Me

Alexander Stone (Age 23, Leo), is a Hitch-Hikin' Song-Writin' Guitar Slinger from Wasaga Beach, Canada, and has a passion and raw untouchable talent for Rock & Roll music unlike any other artists of today. His goal is to make true Canadian Rock & Roll songs that capture the hearts of music lovers across the nation and perhaps the world. With his Good-Vibration sound, and hard-work, he hopes to find himself playing his blend of original good hearted music, travelling to even the most remote of towns in Canada as a band, by 2010. A Good Quality Demo is currently being prepared...



Music is such a Beautiful and Unique expression of the Human Spirit. It really is the Ancient Language. Music existed long before words ever did. I feel that it's Music that I draw on to be Re-Enegized. If a new song makes Me feel better, than maybe it will also make You feel better. And so I became a songwriter, a few years after really getting to know my guitar.

I Grew up listening to AM Radio on every car ride with my Folks. My Mum is from Liverpool, England, so I grew up with the British Invasion. My father is an East Coaster, who grew up as a French-Canadian, and it was from him that I learned my rhythm, as he was always tapping on local objects, making hip jazz and swing beats. I myself started tinkering with any musical object I could find, starting from the early age of 4.

In Highschool, after going through a Very Brief period of listening to Hip Hop and Old Metal, I began to revert back to the Good Vibrations Rock & Roll Music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. It was then I really started to understand the Art of Songwriting.

Progressive Rock was a big turning point on my playing, and although I still Love a simple Ballad, I found my own groove of mixing the Ballad with a Progressive Rock Twist.

By late high-school, my search for new Progressive Rock Music got a bit boring, but luckily I had really dicovered that Many of the Things I had been playing over the years was Raw Blues and Boogie Woogie. So I became a Blues Man.

After playing at many Bar Jams, Blues started to become repetitive, and so I brought it back to the Good Vibrations Music that has a Timeless place in my Heart.

The past few years after the break-up of my old band of 5 Years 'The Dawns', I've been hitch-hiking across Canada, busking, jamming, writing, and perfecting my sound, while trying to find Dedicated Musicians to play the Unique Blend of Rock & Roll that has come to be my trademark sound.

I currently lack the funding to record any of the the 15-25 songs that I have perfected and polished, and so I'm recording at home for the time being, and looking for work to fund a Professional Album.

Though I have over 100 professional shows under my belt, I haven't played a real gig in almost a year. As of March, I will be playing again in the Local Area, likely as far as Toronto. I'm concentrating on gathering a Fan Base here in the Georgian Triangle, before I move on to the Big Show, possibly Memphis.
