Alex Wong is a Latin GRAMMY-nominated artist, producer and activist who describes his songwriting as “Second-Generation Americana.” Alex’s music has appeared in films like "The Last Song" and "The Lincoln Lawyer," as well as TV shows "True Blood," "Ray Donovan," and "One Tree Hill." He has performed at Coachella, Stagecoach, Outside Lands, and NPR's Mountain Stage, and has produced records for Delta Rae, Vienna Teng, and Morgxn among others.

in 2021 Alex established The Quiet Voice Fund around the idea that our voice doesn’t have to be loud to be strong.  His "Show Yourself" benefit concert series raised over $16,000 for The Quiet Voice Fund. 

This year Alex introduced The Permission Parties, a multi-sensory experience where each track from his upcoming album Permission is paired with a Chinese-inspired dish that shares a common emotion. In Alex’s words, “Growing up in the US as a second-generation Chinese American, I struggled to feel permission to take up space with my body, my voice, or my point of view. Movies and media told me I was allowed to be a buddy, a punchline, or a decoration, but there was not enough space for my story in the center of the room.  By showcasing the emotional narratives connecting my music, food, and cultural identity, I hope to empower everyone, especially those on the margins, to feel permission to take up space with their stories.”

The initial five night Nashville run of The Permission Parties sold out, prompting five more sold-out dinners in fall 2023 as well as the first-ever listening and tasting tour across the US, raising over $11,000 for AAPI charities.
