Alex Band

Alexander Max Band (born June 8, 1981) is an American singer and songwriter. He is best known as the vocalist for the Los Angeles-based rock band the Calling. He performed their hit song "Wherever You Will Go," which topped the Adult Top 40 for 23 weeks, making it the second-longest-running number one single in the chart's history. Furthermore, it was later named the number one song of the 2000s decade on the Adult Pop Charts by Billboard.

Along with the band's lead guitarist and fellow songwriter Aaron Kamin, they achieved success with the release of their first two studio albums; Camino Palmero (2001), which sold over 5 million copies worldwide and was certified Gold by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), as well as their second album Two (2004), which sold over 1.5 million copies. The former spawned a successful follow-up single, "Adrienne" while the latter spawned the singles "Our Lives" and "Things Will Go My Way."

As a solo artist, Band is known for his guest performance on Santana's 2003 hit single "Why Don't You & I." In 2008, he formed his own record label AMB Records and released a five-song eponymous extended play (EP). Band later released his debut full-length album, We've All Been There, in June 2010 with "Tonight" as its lead single—which was used as the theme song for the 2010 World Cup. He released his second EP, After the Storm in 2012.
