I'm Alex Fuentes, this is my story.
Artist originally from Baracoa, Guantánamo, Cuba. He began his musical journey around the age of nine in Nava, a small city in the Guantánamo region, about an hour from his hometown. A little guitar was his main source of entertainment—playing and singing—since there was no electricity and certainly no television.
Later, in college, he took music much more seriously, participating in several competitions within the Faculty of Geographic Sciences, where he eventually graduated. Afterward, Alexis continued working as a geography teacher, but on weekends he dedicated himself to music, performing Cuba’s traditional folklore: “El Son Cubano.” This path later allowed him to travel to countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Venezuela, and Mexico.
In Mexico, he became a naturalized citizen—making him a “Cuban-Mexican” artist—and had the opportunity to take his first steps as a songwriter by participating in a competition promoted by TV Azteca on the show Te Regalo Mi Canción. Out of 18,650 songwriters, he earned 5th place with his song “No Me Llame Niño De La Calle.” He also competed in another national contest with the song “En Honor A La Mujer,” placing 3rd among 12,000 participants.
He has been part of several musical groups, where he had the chance to collaborate with diverse musicians—experiences that helped him define his own style and eventually record his first CD, En Honor A La Mujer, as both musician and composer, in the United States. He also had the pleasure of participating in the contest Todos Somos Triunfo Latino, proudly achieving 1st place.
He continues to evolve as an artist, drawing inspiration from every stage of his journey—from his humble beginnings in Cuba to his multicultural life abroad. His music blends tradition with personal storytelling, creating a sound that honors his roots while embracing new influences. Over the years, he has developed a deep commitment to authenticity, ensuring that every lyric reflects truth and emotion. His performances are known for their heartfelt delivery and cultural richness, connecting with audiences from diverse backgrounds.
Today, he remains dedicated to growing as a composer and sharing meaningful messages through his art. Throughout his life, he has devoted himself to seeking the joy of God and his audience, sharing the talents he was blessed with. As an artist, he gravitates toward writing about society’s most vulnerable and those with divergent ways of thinking—people who move and inspire him as both a composer and a singer.
