Alex Bordonaro is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose music blends the emotional honesty of a singer-songwriter with the energy and accessibility of pop and rock. Growing up in Northern Connecticut, Alex was shaped by the cross-genre sounds of early 2000s mainstream radio, an influence that continues to give his music its nostalgic, raw, and deeply personal edge.

 

Alex first began making serious waves in 2019 with “When You’re Gone,” which quickly gained momentum across streaming platforms and landed on multiple viral Top 50 charts. Since then, he has continued to build a catalog centered around vulnerable storytelling, relationship-driven songwriting, and melodies that feel both intimate and instantly familiar.

 

Beyond his solo work, Alex is also one half of the Nashville-based pop/hip-hop duo The Highly Unlikely, whose viral track “Roses Need Rain” helped establish the duo as a versatile force within the modern pop landscape. His songwriting extends well beyond his own releases, with cuts for artists including Lainey Wilson and Taylor Acorn, further highlighting his ability to translate personal experiences into songs that connect across genres.

 

In 2025, Alex expanded his solo catalog with releases including “After Ours,” “Taking it Easy,” “While You Still Love Me,” and “Sunday Church Clothes,” followed by his 2026 single “Trust Fall.” Across each release, Alex continues to lean into honest, emotionally charged songwriting while evolving his sound and identity as an artist.

 

At his core, Alex Bordonaro is an artist focused on making music that feels real. Whether writing for himself or other artists, his work is rooted in vulnerability, strong melodies, and the kind of stories that make listeners feel like they already know the person singing them.
