Singer/keyboardist Alejandro Millán is a recording and touring musician. He is best known for his work with the dutch composer Arjen Lucassen (Stream of Passion, Ayreon) and mexican band Elfonía.

Alejandro began his music career at a very young age. When he was five he began playing the flute and singing in choirs. He quit music when he was 10 years old because he didn't see a future for himself (ha!). He started writing songs on the piano at 11 and since then has never stopped. Only three years later he started recording his own music, played in musicals and eventually toured with several bands.

During his college years, he won several songwriting and singing awards. This led him to get one of his songs placed in Los Claxons' debut album (Latin Grammy nominees). Soon after, he self-produced his own music, releasing three albums independently. Eventually he produced other artists. Alejandro has toured and recorded in more than 10 countries in Europe and North America.

He was mentored by the Grammy awarded producer KC Porter (Carlos Santana, Ricky Martin) during his years at the LA Music Academy, where he also studied under producer/composer Roger Treece (Grammy nominated), singer Tierney Sutton (Grammy nominated), Dorian Holley (Michael Jackson), Jerry Watts Jr. (Herbie Hancock, Sheryl Crow) and Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai) amongst others.
