MICHAEL ALEXANDERSSON

Coming from a musical family, music has been a central part of Michael’s life. His great-grandfather, Paul Alexandersson, had three hits in Sweden in the 1930s. His father played alongside legends such as Fats Domino and Percy Sledge and was the original frontman for the Blue Eyed Soul Revue. Michael began accompanying his dad to gigs at a young age, sometimes joining him on stage. At 16, Michael was discovered by a modeling agent and soon found himself walking the catwalk for Yves Saint Laurent in Paris. The fashion industry's instant success and fast-paced lifestyle overwhelmed him, leading him down a dark path. Michael’s modeling career ended within a few years, but it was a wake-up call that prompted him to get clean. In 2022, Michael was profoundly impacted when his Uncle Pauly lost his battle with addiction and tragically passed away. Michael is pursuing his dreams honoring his uncle's life and love of music.
