This page features music for by jazz fusion keyboardist/composer Tom Alexander, as well as the Fusion/World/Funk band he co-founded, Earth Code. 

Tom Alexander is veteran radio personality/voice over actor/sceeenwriter/musician. He recently co-wrote the motion picture "Stonerville" which was shot in Southern California and features Patrick Cavanaugh, Pauly Shore and Leslie Neilson (in his final screen appearance). The film was released in January of 2011.

For the past eight years, he’s served as Executive Editor of the Sportsman’s Daily, a sports satire website. The site's radio arm produces the funny and poignant radio essay "From the Bleachers" heard nationally on Yahoo! Sports Radio. He is also the voice of "Blog," the neurotic caveman, in the animated series,"The Darwinners" which is now in its second season. 

In 2005 and 2006 he was the piano playing sidekick to a wisecracking talking bottle in a popular series of nationally broadcast commercials for Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Tom co-composed the songs on many of the ads. 

In March of 2005 he released the global-jazz fusion inspired "Flying Against the Time Zones," on the Gatsby Music label. South Florida Sun-Sentinel music critic Nick Tate described the recording as “a globe-trotting musical travelogue,” adding “From start to finish, Alexander builds his solos and melodies with the deft skill of a storyteller.”  Tom’s solo piano CD, "What’s Ahead?" garnered similar accolades and was featured on a nation-wide Weekend Edition Sunday interview with Liane Hansen on NPR in June of 2001.

In 1996, Tom moved his family to South Florida and took a job as Head Writer/Musical Director of the nationally syndicated radio show, "The Drive" which originated from CBS Sportsline. 

Since then, he’s continued to focus on music, radio, and script writing. He’s penned seven screenplays to date. He is also an accomplished, in-demand voice actor appearing in several cartoons each year.

Growing up in his parent’s classic, art-deco movie theater in Northeastern Pennsylvania, its easy to see how this early exposure to movies and music clearly had a lasting impact on his life. 

Tom lives in South Florida with his wife and son and continues to perform music live throughout the region with the fusion/world/funk trio, Earth Code.

Kyleellen.net is my web site where you can read my bio.

“No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.”

This particular quote by Barry Manilow is quite possibly the most accurate depiction of what it feels like for Chicagoland-based drummer Ty Del Rose to play, write, or even just listen to music. And when you get Del Rose behind a set of drums, that's a feeling that he strives to create not just for himself, but for his bandmates, and of course, those in the audience, both on the record and on the stage!


Ty Del Rose was born on September 23, 1991 in Joliet, Illinois – where he was raised and continues to reside. 

Del Rose began touring with Smile Empty Soul in August of 2018. Smile Empty Soul is perhaps best known for the singles “Bottom Of A Bottle”, “Silhouettes”, and “Nowhere Kids”, originally released on their gold-certified, self-titled 2003 debut LP and re-released on the 2016 EP Shapeshifter. The band is currently on tour in support of their ninth studio release, Sheep. The six-song EP was released December 6, 2019 and marks Del Rose's first recording credit with the band.

Del Rose also enjoys taking on work subbing in with various cover bands in the Chicago area while not on tour. In 2016, Del Rose began working with the Chicagoland-based company Xtreme Cover Bands, performing with the company's bands The Breakfast Club, The Shagadelics, Nerdvana, and many others, as well as offering live band karaoke. In October 2017, Del Rose appeared with The Breakfast Club in two gigs overseas performing on United Nations Air Force bases for troops in Jordan and Qatar. On January 9, 2020, Del Rose appeared with The Breakfast Club at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, playing in front of over 20,000 at the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Nashville Predators game during the second intermission. Between touring and local gigging, Del Rose averages roughly 150-200 gigs per year.

When not gigging, Del Rose is passionate about songwriting and production/engineering, often working with other local bands in his home studio setup. Del Rose's production credits include a full-length and EP for Chicago band Bullet To The Heart, of which a few tracks have received airplay on Crest Hill, Illinois' Q Rock 100.7FM, a major Active Rock radio station.

Del Rose was featured on Modern Drummer's “On The Beat” online blog in August 2016. He was also voted one of the top 10 “Drummers of the Year” on Rock Rage Radio's 2017 awards. 

Though best known as a rock/alternative drummer, Del Rose loves and has experience playing pop, indie, blues, R&B/soul, jazz, country, disco and oldies/classic pop and rock. This love and appreciation for a wide variety of genres of music gives Del Rose a vast array of influences to incorporate into any playing situation, while creating a feel and groove that's just right for the music being performed! 

Del Rose's biggest influences include Neil Peart (Rush) for his technique and creative approach to composition, John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) for his power, groove and finesse, Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) for his effortless ability to play odd time signatures fluidly, Dave Abbruzzese (ex-Pearl Jam) for his extremely hard-hitting style and energetic sound, and Tony Royster Jr. (Jay-Z) for his impeccable chops and exciting drum solos and arrangements. Del Rose strives to take influence and learn from every drummer he sees, all the while remembering that his job on stage is to entertain! 

Del Rose plans to stay just as busy in the coming years, and doesn't have any plans to slow down any time soon! He looks forward to continuing to tour with Smile Empty Soul and take on session/fill-in work in between tours. With a valid passport handy, and a penchant for touring and performing music no matter who's listening, Del Rose looks forward to continuing to push forward with his music career, for decades to come!
