South Florida’s Own
As a resident of South Florida, Vision Alexander, whose real name is Simon Mitchell takes much of his inspiration from the Caribbean diaspora and his peers who have also made strides in Music.

“I grew up with MIXX and he was working on Teyana’s album. He reached out and said they wanted some stuff added to the project, so I just added some melodies and words to the track and that’s how the collaboration with Teyana came about,” Vision Alexander explained.
