The creation of “Le Olam” was a collaborative effort, made possible with the help of friends and fellow artists. Alex worked closely with songwriter Robbie Roth and Canadian vocalist Dione Taylor. Reflecting on the experience, Alex shared, “I collaborated with Robbie Roth on this album. We’ve been writing songs together since 2019 and recorded the album during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Despite the challenges, we ensured the safety of everyone by recording individually. The result is a beautifully cohesive album, and I am truly grateful for the many talented artists involved, including the exceptionally gifted Canadian singer, Dione Taylor.”
