Toronto born. Raised across Canada and North America. A8exander was always musical and began pursuing musical theatre from the age of 12. The climax of his stage career was playing Roger at the age of 23 in YES Theatre's sold out production of RENT. After the artistic and financial success of the production, he had achieved all his goals in theatre and decided to end his career with that iconic role.
 
Stretched into a new platform as an entertainer, A8exander decided to tackle an even greater dream that, till then, had been dormant within. He immediately began writing music in Vancouver and, three weeks later, was on a plane to Toronto to start a fresh life as a music artist.
 
A8exander spent the next six months crafting a rough demo of five songs he had written. In the process of much trial and error, he fell in love with the production side of music, and decided to practice this new found skill by producing eight more demos, rounding off what was intended to be his debut album. The project was met with a widely positive response by industry professionals.
 
Already on a lifelong spiritual journey, A8exander delved deep within himself during the production of the album demo and reemerged a completely different person after its completion. He then chose to take a break from his music as he spent almost two years questioning the fundamentals of society and the fabric of life itself.
 
With new insight, A8exander was once again called to create music with a refreshing divine vision for his work, maintaining the original pop/dance genre of his previous work while incorporating more of "the greater picture". The reworking of this fresh debut album is currently underway, set for a spring 2018 release.
​
Musical influences include The Presets, Delerium, Lady Gaga, Nelly Furtado, Goldfrapp, Timbaland, and Kesha.

I'm a singer songwriter/producer from Sudbury ON, Canada. This is a page of all of my work, past and present. I also had the pleasure of playing guitar and with the Montreal based rock band Dig It Up.

Hailing from Sudbury Ontario, a new group with an eclectic sound is taking the independent music scene by storm! Critics are acclaiming their sound as “Canadian Rock” with comparisons to such bands like the Tragically Hip, The Weakerthans, Blue Rodeo and Yukon Blond.

They are known as Weatherly.

Jason Fraser (Vocals, guitar), Patrick Dalla Vicenza (Lead Guitar, Back-up Vocals), Brennan Chislett (Drums) and Ryan Burke (Bass) individually they exhibit creative talent, but together they surge as a powerful unit creating a whole new dynamic to the band’s electrifying sound.

With unique styling’s and flavors of southern rock, folk, blues, country, punk and pop…Weatherly delivers an exclusive brand of "rock" giving the group a fresh and exciting new sound that sets them apart from other acts.  

Weatherly can be described as emotional, fearless and confident, while retaining the feeling and honesty that is often missed in today's music.  Already, in their short time together, they have grown to become a highly regarded and well respected live act, leaving memorable impressions on audiences with their supercharged show.

In 2012, Weatherly earned first prize in Dauphin's Country Music Festival, Battle of the Bands in Manitoba, which featured Randy Bachman, Zach Brown Band, and many more…. The group has also shared the stage this past summer with legendary rock acts Dr. Hook, Chilliwack, Great White and Lou Gramm from Foreigner at the Rock N' Roar Festival in Spanish, Ontario, and was the supporting act for Marianas Trench at Greater Sudbury’s Summerfest.

Weatherly has just released their Summer EP which is the first release in a series related to all four seasons. As a new band Weatherly’s plan is to grow, experiment and to keep writing innovative material that will hopefully impact the Canadian music industry for years to come.
