Hey everyone! Alex recently updated his MySpace blog about his departure from the major label he was previously working with. He's in the process of moving to his OWN PRIVATE LABEL! Go him! He will do much better indie I think. The major labels weren't showing him much love, he deserves better. Anyway here is the blog:

Hello Everyone!
I know you're all antsy to hear some good news and I finally have some to tell you!
I've been working on leaving my label for a while now, and moving to somewhere else to put this record out finally and give it the push it deserves…and I'm happy to announce that I will be putting the record out ON MY OWN! With help from good friends in the business and an amazing team, I'm putting together my own Label. This gives me the freedom to make my own decisions, to invest in myself, and to do what I want, when I want. This is the way to go these days in the music business and I am sooooooo lucky to be able to do it. There are no firm details as to when exactly the record will be released, but I am doing everything in my power to make the process as speedy as possible. I will let you all know of course as soon as I find out more.
Now on to even better news…I am in the process of booking sporadic shows all over the US starting in April. Most of them will be college dates and private gigs at first, but there are also talks of a tour this summer with a bigger name act and a possible headlining tour later in the year. Also, we are now booking a 3-week Brazilian tour to start the end of this June that will possibly spill over to other countries in South America. As soon as dates have been set I will let all you fans down there know. I'm so excited!
I am sooooo looking forward to getting back out on the road, playing Calling favorites and lots of great new songs as well. I have an awesome new band and we're currently rehearsing to get ready to play for you all. And NOW I will be able to offer you some of my new material at the shows before I even release it worldwide on own my private label!
Lastly, I wanted to tell you to keep your eyes out for a TV show called "Moonlight" on CBS airing April 24th featuring a couple of new songs from my upcoming record. And I will be making an appearance on one or two of the episodes of the new Real World Hollywood season which starts airing April 16th and April 17th on MTV. Check it out!
That's all for now…as soon as I get more info, you all will be the first to hear. I am free now; free to give you guys everything I can, whenever I want, and whenever you want it! There is so much exciting stuff in the works! Stay tuned next week for something special.
Thank you again for sticking with me through theses crazy and frustrating times! Talk to you soon. All the love…
