Get ready to experience the incredible talent of Alexander Star, an Emmy®-nominated singer, rap artist, and musical humanitarian on a showboat transformed into a traveling concert on water.
Alexander Star, a South Floridian for the past 20 years, is known for his ability to uplift and spread love through his music. His authentic and inspiring lyrics have touched the hearts of many, and his performances are nothing short of spectacular.
Backed by his band, The Golden People, Alexander Star delivers a fusion of hip-hop, R&B, reggae, rock, and pop that will have everyone grooving to the beat. Whether you’re a fan of his music or new to his sound, his live shows are dynamic, inclusive, and suitable for all audiences.
But Alexander Star’s impact goes beyond the stage. He has dedicated over ten years to mentoring students and helping them write and record their original songs with a purpose. His experience working with at-risk teens has sharpened his ability to empower others, which shines through in his music.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Alexander Star has created anthems for numerous organizations that make a difference in our local communities. From 211 Broward to Feeding South Florida, he uses his talent to support causes that truly matter.
Now, in collaboration with Visit Lauderdale and Winterfest, Alexander Star is creating the official anthem for Greater Fort Lauderdale! This anthem will represent our vibrant and diverse community, and we couldn’t be prouder. Winterfest supporters will have the chance to hear it live at the Grand Marshal Reception on December 15th, and the unveiling of the song to the public will be as the band performs it on the Visit Lauderdale decorated ‘concert showboat” onboard the Island Adventure Water Taxi at the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade on December 16th.
So, please mark your calendars and join us in celebrating the incredible talent of Alexander Star and all the decorated entries at the Parade. It’s an event you will want to attend! So, Get Onboard!
