Alonzo is a multi-talented artist. You may have first been introduced to him as part of Fatally Unique on season 6 of America’s Got Talent. A phenomenal dancer, Alonzo always had dreams of something more. Singing was his passion and so in 2013 his years of preparation led to a Craigslist ad that launched a tour across Asia.

Living free of fear has led to Alonzo touring with the 4U Prince Symphony Tour, being a back up singer for Christina Aguilera, singing at some of the top nightclubs in Hollywood and much more.
