Everclear
frontman Art Alexakis is no stranger to the rough side of
life. Raised in the projects of Los Angeles, Alexakis lost
his brother and girlfriend to drug overdoses and grew up in
the shadow of abandonment by his father. Raised by his mother,
Alexakis went on to his own wild times with drugs and extreme
lifestyles, yet finally decided to shake off the weight of
the past, clean up, and settle down, beginning a new phase
of productivity and artistic expression with his wildly successful
band Everclear. A proud father of a beautiful girl, Art speaks
out passionately about the "Deadbeat Dad" bill which is now
before the U.S. Congress.
