Alexander first worked as a landscaper for Barbara Orbison, wife of Roy Orbison, who offered him his first publishing deal.[2]

In 2006, Alexander moved to Nashville, Tennessee where Darren Theriault, who played bass guitar for Jypsi, invited him to perform at Layla's Bluegrass Inn. Alexander then became a regular performer there.[3]

Alexander released his debut single, "Live a Little", through Elektra Records in mid-2014. He wrote the song with Laura Veltz and co-produced it with Justin Weaver.[4]

Taste of Country reviewed the single favorably, saying that "Lyrically, ‘Live a Little’ is quick and clever, with Alexander’s voice flowing through the lyrics like a spark that will grab the listener’s attention and have them hitting repeat as they find themselves inspired and motivated to jump headfirst into their dreams."[5] Got Country Online also praised the song, comparing it favorably to Dwight Yoakam and Chris Isaak.[6]

The song debuted at number 40 on the Country Airplay chart dated for August 9, 2014.[7]
