Portrait: Alejandro Aranda

This intimate conversation centers around music and it’s healing power for Alejandro, in regard to both mental health and life path. He shares about his family life, homeschooling, his meteoric rise on American Idol and how his fight to maintain his self-expression ultimately won them over. Plus we find out he only started playing at age 19?! A virtuoso with a virtuous heart. Don’t miss this episode. So much about honesty and vulnerability and how we can “support, encourage and remind each other” to make art from that place.LAUNCHLEFT OFFICIAL WEBSITEwww.launchleft.comTWITTER@[email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
