LEONE & Stefan Alexander
LEONE
Leone is a pop/rock artist from NY. Richie Bee leads this all-out sensory experience with a charismatic stage presence, fusing artful androgyny with a piercing vibrato and heartfelt lyrics, bringing people together through vulnerability and honesty
STEFAN ALEXANDER
Stefan Alexander is an independent NYC-based queer pop singer-songwriter. He released his first single “Skeleton” three years ago to critical acclaim and garnered over 1M streams on Spotify. Sadly, Stefan was forced to take a 3 year medical hiatus to diagnose and rehabilitate from a mysterious pain disorder that kept him from performing. However, since the beginning of 2019, he has finally been able to perform and release a steady stream of new music again. Stefan has used his platform to speak honestly about his chronic illness and hopes his story can inspire others to overcome whatever challenges they may be facing in their lives.
