As the son of ’80s icon Emmanuel, romantic balladeer Alexander Acha has proven he can hold his own. The Mexican artist began his musical education at just five years of age and later graduated from the Berklee College of Music. His debut album Voy showed how he has inherited his father’s gift for transforming hope and heartbreak into pop gems. With the haunting guitar riffs that underscore “Sin Tu Amor” and the lilting rhythmic energy of “La Vida Ahora”, the songwriter takes the reins on production, too, as he combines velvet vocals with lyrical beauty.
