- Singer Intro
Alexander George Goot (born March 15, 1988, Poughkeepsie, New York) is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist from New York City. His channel, GootMusic, is the 1582nd most watched channel on YouTube. He plays acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums and other instruments.
Goot began recording music in 2004 at the age of 16 and since then has gained popularity from his profiles on various social network sites as well as his own website, from which he distributes some of his music and provides news and regular updates. His time is almost all spent in his home studio self-producing all audio and video for his releases, or touring the world.
Goot released his first studio album In Your Atmosphere, which was made possible by his fans via an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign. His YouTube channel has about 2,000,000 subscribers and his videos have been viewed over 330 million times. His celebrity rank has fallen and he is now ranked in the 400's among subscribers and 800's in views.
According to Goot, his inspiration is to show the love he has for music. He further states that he 'had no plan B'.
After he recorded his music as well as videos for many years in his home studio in Poughkeepsie, he moved in early February 2015, immediately after his European tour in January 2015, to Los Angeles.
Goot has made several videos in collaboration with other artists such as We Are the In Crowd, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Megan Nicole, Sam Tsui and Against the Current.
Goot has released four volumes of Songs I Wish I Wrote with most of the versions of his channel on YouTube.
