Alex Dezen is a platinum-selling songwriter, producer, mixing engineer, solo artist, and the lead singer and songwriter for the American rock and roll band The Damnwells, who just released their sixth full album “Bad at Beautiful” and will be performing an album release show on Nov 14 in NYC. The band was the subject of the 2007 documentary Golden Days which followed the band’s signing to Epic Records and recording of their debut album, and some of the business issues surrounding its release and its delays. 

He has written and released songs for artists such as Justin Bieber, Robin Thicke, JoJo, and The Veronicas, and also written for and worked with a number of additional artist such as The Dixie Chicks, Dave Grohl, Sara Bareilles, Christina Perri, Simple Plan. 

Alex also co-owns a boutique record label where he works with other artists producing songs and operates an in-house recording studio. 

The trio bonds over being from Jerzey, talks about the Damnwell's formation in Brooklyn, branching out into a solo career, his lyric process, and some of the ins-and-outs of industry collaboration. 

It's a thoughtful and fun chat that anyone interested in the field of songwriting should listen to!
