Alex Goot is a one-man band who currently lives in upstate New York, proudly sitting down to a fanbase of over 140,000 on his computer (Well, that's just friends on his Myspace alone.) While Goot's music is anything but drab, he claims to live his life pretty simply- "I enjoy vanilla ice cream, plain T-shirts, cheeseburgers with nothing on them but cheese, and Seinfeld", Alex Goot states right away in his 'About Me' section.

Alex has been poundin' on a piano since age six (inspired by Phil Collins), but got serious about music around 13. Years later, he's got some hits and he's ready to show the world... literally. He's toured around the U.S with other indie artists like Backseat Goodbye, and now he's leavin' on a jet plane to Japan at the start of the new year. Catch 'em before he goes global- he's got some tour dates in the U.S this Fall/Winter still.
