Genre-Bending Newcomer Alex Dawn Channels Emotion, Rock & R&B in Breakout Single “Two”

DENVER, CO – At just 18 years old, Alex Dawn is quickly carving out a lane of his own with a sound that’s as emotionally honest as it is sonically diverse. Hailing from the streets of Aurora and the suburbs of Thornton, Colorado, the rising artist blends pop, R&B, melodic rap, and alternative rock into a genre-defying style that resonates across generations.

His debut single, “Two”, is a powerful introduction to that vision. A haunting reflection on loving someone who wasn’t meant to stay, the track explores themes of heartbreak, emotional attachment, and the quiet strength found in vulnerability. With vivid songwriting and layered production, Alex captures the emotional rollercoaster of letting go while still holding on.

“‘Two’ is about when someone changes, but your love for them doesn’t,” says Alex. “It’s the moment you realize you’re not right for each other, but the feelings are still real. That kind of truth deserves to be sung.”

Alex Dawn, born Joshua Beech on August 18, 2005, is no stranger to emotional depth. From an early age, he gravitated toward music as an escape and a compass. Influenced heavily by Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, and Mariah Carey, his love for theatricality, vocal precision, and storytelling grew alongside his fascination with rock bands like Nirvana, Queen, and Dream Theater. These influences fuse together in a sound that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable.

His journey started young—singing along to music videos at age 2, dancing to MJ classics on the Wii with his cousin, and memorizing the melodies of early 2000s pop and R&B during car rides with his mom. Over the years, his artistry matured, especially during the isolation of the pandemic, when he taught himself production on FL Studio and vocal mixing via YouTube tutorials.

With over 75 original songs written and multiple live shows under his belt, Alex Dawn is proving that he’s more than just a promising talent—he’s an artist with vision, depth, and staying power. His debut marks the beginning of a new chapter, with more releases and live performances on the way.
