YACOVELLI @yacovelliband

YACOVELLI is a “Nu York” Neo-Grunge / Punk / Alternative Rock band led by ever-evolving frontman Alex Yacovelli (DIY Producer, former member of bands Rich N Pretty and Not Your Queen’s English). No stranger to the suburban garage studio, YACOVELLI’s music encapsulates a raw, indie rock drive and energy. The project explores the modern Alt landscape and “Nu York” sound, a return to the edginess of Bowery Punk infused with caffeinated Seattle grime.

As songwriter of the project, Alex strives to embody the sweat and swagger of New York City life in his music. A fixture of the NYC underground scene since the late 2000s, he’s notched incredible milestones — including sharing the stage with Weezer at their legendary Madison Square Garden debut. While studying voice at NYU, Alex’s Ultraviolet Live performance with Darrell Dumas (The Royal They) was praised by host and “original influencer” Perez Hilton. Yacovelli’s songwriting skills also earned him an Honorable Mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition (Pop category) alongside Meghan Trainor. Later in life, he received an exclusive invite to record a live version of his tune “Songbird” at Jacaranda Record’s 1947 Voice-O-Graph direct-to-vinyl booth in Liverpool, at the club where The Beatles started.
