Gregg Alexander (born Gregory Aiuto; May 4, 1970)[1] is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer.
He was the lead vocalist and frontman of the short-lived rock band New Radicals, who are best known for their 1998 single "You Get What You Give". The group disbanded after one album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998) in 1999, with Alexander shifting focus onto production and songwriting work. Notable songwriting and productions credits for Alexander include "Life Is a Rollercoaster", "Lovin' Each Day", "Inner Smile", "Murder on the Dancefloor" and "Mixed Up World", all of which were commercial successes in the early 2000s.
Alexander won a Grammy Award for his contributions to the 2003 single "The Game of Love" by Santana.[1] He later co-wrote songs for the film Begin Again, including "Lost Stars", which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
