Alex Boyé was born in London, England, on August 16, 1970, to Nigerian parents. Raised in foster homes in Tottenham, he developed an early interest in music, influenced by African-American artists. At 16, he was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later served as an LDS Church missionary in Bristol, England, where he first performed publicly. After his mission, Boyé pursued music, initially as a backup dancer for George Michael.
In 1995, Boyé became the lead singer of the European boy band Awesome. The band achieved success after winning a vocal competition on Capital Radio in 1996, leading to a five-album contract with Universal Records of Europe. Awesome released three top-10 singles from their debut album, “Rumors,” selling 500,000 albums and performing alongside artists such as Bryan Adams and MC Hammer. Boyé left Awesome in 1999 to pursue a solo career, relocating to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2000, and releasing his first religious album, “The Love Goes On,” in 2001. He later joined the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in 2006, contributing as a soloist on their album “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” In 2012, Boyé became a United States citizen and in 2017, he was named the “Rising Artist of the Year” by Pepsi and Hard Rock Cafe. He is known for his viral music videos, accumulating over 1 billion views on YouTube, and regularly tours schools and performs at large venues to promote mental health and suicide prevention.
Boyé has appeared in movie soundtracks for films like “Charly” and “Church Ball.” His collaboration with The Piano Guys on an Africanized cover of Coldplay’s “Paradise,” titled “Peponi,” gained significant online traction in 2012. In 2014, his Africanized version of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen,” featuring the One Voice Children’s Choir, became a viral sensation and was recognized as YouTube’s best pop cover of the year. He also performed this, along with other work on America’s Got Talent in 2015. Boyé released the single “Bend Not Break” in 2018, produced by Randy Jackson, focusing on suicide prevention. He continues to impact audiences through his music and motivational speaking engagements, including a planned 100-school tour in 2023 for the release of his book “You Are a 10.”
