Armed only with his voice, an acoustic guitar, and a digital loop pedal, Alex Schein is a multi-talented artist who combines elements of soul, folk, hip-hop, and spoken word.

In 2006, Schein released his self-produced album “Speed of Light”. Later that year Schein teamed up with Emmy Award Winning Filmmaker Josh Lowell of Big Up Productions to produce the video for the single “RiseUp” featuring emcee Deirdre Breeden (Charlottesville, VA) and members of Breaks Kru (Kings of NYC 2006) and Evolution out of Brooklyn, NY.

Known around the globe as the leading creator of high quality climbing and bouldering films, Josh Lowell’s films “Pilgrimage”, “Dosage III”, and “Dosage IV” have all featured songs by Alex Schein. In December of 2007, Schein’s song “the Drop” was featured in Lowell’s Emmy Award winning segment of Chris Sharma’s ascent of The Arch at Es Pontas as seen on NBC’s Jeep World of Adventure Sports.

In January of 2010, six songs off the album “Speed of Light” were featured in the independent film “Bilal’s Stand” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the NEXT category.
