Alex Cartana Biography

Alex Cartana is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on April 7, 1983 in Sussex, Spain. Alex Cartañá (born Alexandra Rosamund Cartañá-Marks, 7 April 1983) is a British singer-songwriter and actress of Spanish origin. Cartañá first came to fame in 2003 as the featured artist and co-writer of the hit dance record, “Shake It (Move a Little Closer)”, which peaked at No. 16 in the UK Singles Chart.

Her first solo single released under the EMI label was in April 2004 with “Hey Papi”. The title and introduction showcased her Spanish heritage, and the sentiment of the song was inspired by the relationship between Cartañá and her father, whom, after the death of her elder sister, became over-protective. “Hey Papi” peaked at #34 in the UK chart. The video was directed by American director Charles Mehling, also known for directing James Morrison’s “One Last Chance” video. This would be her last piece of music to be released under the EMI label, as difficulties in decision-making towards her second single would start to take artist and label as well as her then management in different directions, also triggering uncertainty amongst all of those involved. An amicable decision was finally made in 2005, to allow Cartañá to walk away from her deal after almost eight months of deliberation. Two months after this major transition, Cartañá also left her management team.

Dance projects such “Dig the Vibes” with Cabrera was released through Kidology Records, and a second dance track and co-writer credits was “Funkmanouver”, commercially known as “Wait for Me”, featured on the Ministry of Sound compilation album, Housexy: Summer in the City, released in March 2007.

In 2015, Cartañá became involved with Disney Junior’s animated series The Lion Guard, based on Disney’s 1994 film The Lion King. She sings backing vocals on all of the songs on the show, including lead vocals for the song “Trail to Hope”. She also voices the character Twiga the giraffe, whose first appearance was singing the lead vocals for the song “Kupatana Community”.

In October 2004, a third song from Cartañá, “Lost Your Mind”, was due for release, however the song was cancelled two weeks prior to the due date. This would be her last piece of music to be released under the EMI label, as difficulties in decision-making towards her second solo single, would start to take artist and label, as well as her then management in different directions, also triggering uncertainty amongst all of those involved.
