Review
Every so often, maybe once in a generation, a musical genius emerges from the crowd. Alex Koffler may be that next genius. His music is not only hypnotic, it is true art. He is the new Jim Morrison for the new millennium. Alex is not only a truly talented and accomplished musician, his lyrics will blow your mind. I predict Alex will become a superstar.
