Alex is currently working on his indie-pop project “Carbon Love.” Though music has been his main pursuit for years now, prior to college, Alex didn’t even play an instrument.

In addition to creating and performing, Beane has extensive experience in the recording studio as a producer. He has worked as the lead sound engineer for the Jordan Kahn wedding band and the Center for Spiritual Living, Dallas.
