Read about their ceremony and celebration in an exclusive PEOPLE feature and photo gallery HERE. About Kat & Alex Kat & Alex are poised to redefine the boundaries of country music. With a unique and powerful sound that can best be described as country-soul fusion with Latin roots, Kat’s textured, savory vocals perfectly complement Alex’s smooth, low country sound, allowing the two to create harmonies that flow seamlessly between languages. Kat & Alex made their national television debut on Season 18 of “American Idol.” A first-generation American raised in a Puerto Rican family in Northwestern Georgia, Alex often entertained by dancing and putting on shows. His dad’s old acoustic guitar unlocked a world of possibilities as he taught himself how to play. Alex’s family moved to Miami when he was 11 years old, and he used the instrument to make friends and find confidence as a musician. In high school, inspired by artists ranging from Fleetwood Mac and Norah Jones to Garth Brooks, he learned piano. Meanwhile, Kat grew up in Miami as a first-generation American in a Cuban family. Her quiet charisma shined on the 2018 season of “La Voz,” the Spanish-American version of the popular NBC series “The Voice.” Following her run on the show, she attended Vous Church pastored by Rich Wilkerson, JR. A special guest in a cowboy hat captivated her from the stage. |
