Though raised in Artemisa, an hour outside of Havana, Alex Cuba’s artistry is as far-flung as the
place he has settled and lived for over fifteen years: Smithers, BC, 14 hours north of Vancouver.
His music at once incorporates his roots and is a unique amalgam of styles, having collaborated
with artists ranging from
Jason Mraz
to
Ron Sexsmith
and
Nelly Furtado;
and bringing
together melodies, popsoul hooks and rock chords.
A forward-thinking, indie-minded artist, Alex has amassed a steadily growing following among
critics and fans. With over 20 awards and nominations to his name, including 4 Latin Grammys
and two Junos Awards and three Grammy nominations.
Alex carries his Cuba within, incorporating subtle jazz influences, gained from his early years as
a bass player in Cuba, and tasteful, sophisticated chords and lyrics expressing his poetry in an
undeniably Cuban way. His growing body of work defines a unique musical place in the Latin
diaspora.
Building on the 2017 Grammy nominated release
Lo Unico Constante
with its back to roots
introspection, his new collection of songs released in September 2019, including 6
featuring’s with Latin American singers and songwriters. Alex joined with Toronto based
engineer, John Bailey to record in Gibson’s BC at The Farm Studio.

for new songs and wanting to share that undeniable personal sound. A series of singles will be
