Why see Alejandro Aranda?
Debut tour from American Idol star!
The stand-out star of the 17th season of American Idol, Alejandro Aranda, is heading out on his first tour just mere months after becoming the runner up of the 2019 competition! This debut will see the pop-indie singer hit 31 cities across North America under his 'busking days' name, Scarypoolparty, and with the promise of his first studio album is in the works and will be released soon...
Alejandro Aranda first wowed the judges (Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan) when he performed his original song "Out Loud" in the first round of auditions. Not only did Aranda wow the judges but he also won the hearts of the public, continuously going viral and being voted to stay week after week!
Originating from Pomona, California the 25-year-old songwriter came to music later in life and taught himself how to sing and play the guitar! After busking around California under the name "Scarypoolparty" Aranda was heralded as the 'Artist of the Year' in the annual Five of Five Entertainment and Californian State University talent competition in 2017.
*Please note that Alejandro Aranda will be performing as Scarypoolparty from October 10th!*

Well done
I followed American Idol during Alejandro's season, only because I happened upon his incredible musical talent. At the time it intrigued me that he mentioned that Trent Reznor, Chopin and Bach were his musical muses (what a fascinating trio - heavy metal meets classical). Most of his compositions on the show trended to poppy ballads penned by a nascent songwriter, but his extraordinary musicianship was what kept drawing me back to the show (I mostly watched him on YouTube). So when the opening act was a metal/dance/techno musician (still raw around the edges) I thought what have we here/hear? Alejandro came out blazing with a four piece band that laid a wall of sound and light down on the audience (I looked around and saw the astonished/bewildered face.). I was at this point drawn into a wonderful musical journey, as the Trent Revnor part of AA revealed itself and I was beguiled by his refusal to stick to the expected script. By the fourth song he had me enthralled and his driving, technically brilliant piano playing reminded me of a young Rick Wakeman (yep, I'm old). While I saw about 10% of the audience (mostly older) leave during the show, the remaining 90% were treated to a budding musical star's genius. Again that's why they have vanilla and pistachio on the menu. ... Read more

All sides of Alejandro
If you left early you missed the Alejandro you came to see! He did it all and he did it his way. Hard and soft, fast and slow, brutal and sensitive, all sides of AA. He is unique, he is still amazing and still does what we all loved on TV. He is still Alejandro, apparently unchanged from the humble artist we all love. But, for me, let me know when he does an Alejandro Unplugged concert, I’ll be there with bells on. ... Read more
