Alex Clare – Double-Platinum Recording Artist and Mentsch | Ami's House Ep13 [Full Episode]

In 2011, ‪@alexclare‬ wrote a #1 song that changed his life and changed the world of Jewish music along with it. That song went double-platinum and today Alex nearly 300-million streams on Spotify and 100k subs on YouTube.

He also did a Tiny Desk Concert... so, he's the real deal.

Alex digs deep with ‪@amikozak_official‬ and Mike about the myth of "Alex Clare," how his music has evolved since Too Close, working with Rick Rubin, and the evolving state of Jewish music .
