Alexander also worked closely with another iconic, Prince, in the early stages of his career.
He explained how he had recorded a couple of tracks with the late singer, however, they didn’t quite “work out” and come to be released.
“I have a lot of respect for Prince, we have a lot to thank him for, he was the king of the Minneapolis music scene. Some things are not meant to be, the collaboration with Prince, he and I recorded a couple of songs out there but it just didn’t work out and it wasn’t meant to happen.

“But I always knew I would make it to the next level I just didn’t know when or how. But Prince, lord, rest his soul.”
