Born June 9th, 1995 Alex Sparks is an American urban song writer and the voice of the next generation of genre bending, thought provoking, lyricists making his own lane. A blend of Trap Music, EDM, and traditional Hip-Hop, Sparks brings a unique and unrelenting delivery over hard hitting and high energy tracks making it impossible to not want to hear more. Drawing a wide range of comparisons from artist like Logic, Mac Miller, to G-Eazy, Sparks is unpredictable and unfaltering as an entertainer.

Raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, Sparks was born into a melting pot of sounds and influences that have contributed to a style made all his own. Growing up listening to everyone from Black Eyed Peas to 50 Cent, Sparks began to develop a true love for Hip-Hop as a fan. However his true passion for creating music began to surface at a familiar turning point for many of us, a break up after 5 years with his first love and high school sweetheart. Feeling in need of a new beginning and desperate for a distraction, Sparks turned to music as a way of getting out of his own head. What started as just writing lyrics and recording freestyles quickly developed into carefully crafted verses with infectious hooks over thumping beats. Pouring raw emotion and creativity into each line on the page, there was no turning back. “Music is my drug” says Sparks, “a way to escape my cruel reality”.

Sparks has been very active in the past year expanding his fan base and mastering his craft as a performer. Opening up for Sycosis and LDorado Jonez in the summer of 2015 “How the Midwest Was 1” tour, Sparks electrified crowds throughout the region. From college towns like Urbana (University of Illinois) to big city lights of GTS Fest in downtown Chicago, fans learned quickly that Sparks brings energy and effort like no other. But he hasn’t stopped there. In the fall he began headlining his own concerts at historic venues such as The House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio, and The Emerson in Indianapolis. Once again proving he can command a stage and that his buzz is growing by the minute.

The future is looking even brighter for the young artist. A lot of new music is on the horizon from Sparks, on the verge of releasing his first music video for his single The Dragon Song featuring Jetta, a story about what perseverance and the grind of an aspiring artist. “This is a song I am very proud of. I love the lyrics I wrote a ton, so much that I can't help telling people about it before hand so they catch all of them!” says Sparks. He is also releasing a powerful collaboration single entitled Point of View as a follow-up. A new talent on the rise and always on the move, be on the lookout for when the Sparks fly.
