Alexander 23: American Boy In Asia In Singapore

If you cannot get American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U (2021) out of your head, then you have Alexander 23 to thank.

The 29-year-old will perform his first solo concert in Singapore as part of his American Boy In Asia tour, which also has stops in Hong Kong, Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei.

Alexander Glantz goes by the stage name Alexander 23 as his birthday falls on Jan 23.

His most popular song is the soulful ballad IDK You Yet (2020), which has been played on Spotify more than 520 million times. His debut studio album Aftershock (2022) also has reflective tracks such as The Hardest Part and Somebody’s Nobody.

A notable figure in Indonesian entertainment, Judika has made a name for himself both on stage and the big screen.

The Indonesian actor-singer, who starred in movies such as Fire Squad (2008), has released seven albums and been a judge on singing talent shows, such as Indonesian Idol (2004 to present) and X Factor Indonesia (2012 to present).

The 45-year-old’s hits include the sad love song Bagaimana Kalau Aku Tidak Baik Baik Saja (2021), which looks back on a relationship with hurt and regret. It was inspired by the South Korean television series Crash Landing On You (2019 to 2020).
