Cortes Alexander
Cortés Alexander graduated form the Professional Children's School in NYC where he also studied piano. His first B'way show was the ill-fated Marilyn-An American Fable. He was playing piano for a friend who was auditioning, when he was asked if he could sing. He said "sure" & 2 days later, they had written a part for him. Many commercials, a pilot with Nicolas Cage, & lots of music videos later, he was singing at a club with his group The Tonics in NYC, where he met legendary theatre director Harold Prince who introduced them to Stephen Sondheim at a Christmas party. Steve asked if they would sing at a benefit honoring him. They said "yes" & their arrangement of "Good Thing Going" at Carnegie Hall, wound up on PBS' Great Performances, & was nominated for a Grammy. Then he met Liza Minnelli & Cortés went on 2 world tours with her, each lasting about 4 years, with the second one culminating in the Tony Award winning, Liza's At The Palace. There's more. Cortés recently completed a co-starring role in the Tubi original film UNBORN. He's done quite a bit of commercial print modeling, has 17 tennis trophies, 3 dogs, & released a CD of original music called SWELL. He does live concerts around the LA area which consistently sell out. He is also working on conquering his insomnia & eating fewer pancakes.
