How do you define a game changer? Someone with a vision, a passion? Someone with undying confidence and determination? These have been and continue to be the defining traits of moguls and entrepreneurs, but alone do not make a game changer. A game changer is someone who has the cognitive framework to put their vision, passion, confidence and determination into action. Someone who not only is able to do so, but will not be satisfied until they do.

Alec Joseph is that game changer.

At the young age of 17, AJ has already put his talents into action in many different ways. As a musician, AJ has created his signature sound by combining styles of R&B, hip-hop, reggae, country, folk, pop, theater, and rock into one cohesive sound. This difficult feat stemmed from the knowledge he gained from writing sessions in a number of diverse cities and countries, and in-depth research of the qualities of different genres of music. As a performer, he spent his past year touring the world. He opened for S Club 7, performing in arenas all across the UK. He hit the stage on the #1 social media tour, DigiFest, for three months, and headlined his own tour sponsored by DoSomething.org, the Unbelievable Tour. As a social media mogul, he has attracted over 600,000 followers, and teamed up with TigerBeat, America’s #1 magazine for teenagers, to help run their social media department. Through creating select market campaigns and acting as a media correspondent at major events, he has helped attract over 20,000,000 viewers across the globe. This unique opportunity has allowed AJ to develop his communication and technology skills, further enabling him to explore how he can apply those skills to the entertainment industry.

But the most profound thing about AJ is his desire to connect with people, to lend a helping hand to others. Even with all these accomplishments under his belt, he says that none of it compares to the connections he’s able to make with people through music. At the end of the day, AJ is a people person who would go to the end of the world to help others succeed and feel heard. When prompted, those who know AJ on a variety of levels, both professionally and personally, consistently described AJ as a person who lights up every room he walks into, makes you feel understood, and has a true passion for creating and inspiring. His intelligence stuns those around him. He's especially talented in literature, a natural ability that seeps into his deep songwriting and dynamic communication skills. Add his bright smile and infectious personality to the mix and you have a deadly combination. He is where art and business come together, the place where magic happens.
