Born and raised in London, England, Alex Boyé was homeless by the age of 16. Dancing in a nightclub with no hope, a song came on that changed the trajectory of his life. “It felt like 10 years worth of therapy in 3 minutes.” Studies have shown that music can cause a powerful shift in peoples lives in ways that words alone cannot. It can influence behavior, shape culture, heal invisible wounds, and even strengthen relationships. Why don’t we use it more? Alex adds, “For many years , it has been a dream of mine to give others the same gift of healing through music “innertainment”, that was given to me that night on the dancefloor at the tender age of 16.”
