Alex Perez (born October 14th), better known by his stage name Lil XXEL "zell", is an American singer/songwriter of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent. Alex was born in Orlando, Florida, and moved to New Jersey at a young age, where he was raised by his single-mother (Ginette). 
 XXEL began to sing at the young age of 7 years old. Although he began singing in school talent shows, he later progressed into composing rap songs, and eventually all things Pop/R&B. With an undeniable belief in his potential and the fast-paced track record to prove it, XXEL, unexpected as his story is, is making it increasingly easy for the rest of the world to believe in him too.
