Get up, get on.

My world is with my girls living on the dance floor.

Welcome back to Leave it on the Dance Floor. This is an exciting episode.

Sitting here with me today I have Alex Kalese, the singer, songwriter,

composer, everything of Cry.

The song that you all know and love.

Woo!

Was I right in that? Oh, no, absolutely. Thank you. Okay, yes. So let's talk about how we met. Okay. Did we meet? Oh, no, we absolutely did.

So.

I just clearly don't remember.

I had a lot of chemo.

No, no, for sure.

Well, it was kind of an interesting story, so I'm affiliated with a few different licensing agencies and what they do is they license my music to film and TV

So what happened was there was a placement of mine cry as you know and the song you know it was basically the sole ballad and on an

otherwise all rock record that I was really pushing and then all of a sudden I

started getting all of these hits on the song out of nowhere and I was like why is that happening?

So I went on YouTube and I found a little girl named Maddie Ziegler dancing to the song on the first season of dance moms which I had never heard of

So it was such a beautiful dance and it was just the way that she danced to it it was so fluid and passionate and

I thought to myself like I would love to have this little girl in the music video

for it because I had never filmed a video for it. Right. So my dad

suggested to me he's like why don't you have her dance in it?

So we found a way to get your phone number through Fran Peters.
