The discovery of Juriel Alexander happened via SoundCloud and it was an amazing discovery.Alexander’s music has a sound that is timeless and he credits his upbringing for it. Growing up in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn at a time where it wasn’t the safest of neighborhoods, Alexander knew at an early age that singing would be his way out of what his neighborhood had to offer. Juriel Alexander credits his grandmother for his start with singing becahse at the age of three she brough him a karaoke machine and from that point his love for music began.Later on, Juriel would start a group with his brother for a few years before going solo. In 2016, Juriel Alexander released his first mixtape Only the Beginning where he does amazing remixes of Future’s “Purple Rain”, Drake’s “Controlla”, Desiigner’s “Panda” and more.
