Alex Shawn Levis was born in Manhattan on October 4th, 1991. His parents are Andre Levis and Susan Karoian. Coming from a wealthy family, Alex grew up with everything I wanted, thinking that the world was wonderful. I moved in Paris when he was 4 because of his parents jobs. He was attracted by working on TV, and shooting movies since ever. He started castings since he was 6 years old. He shot several ads for TV and gave is voice for titles of a famous american radio show for kids. That is why one year after, he had been detected by PH*****World, a little growing TV production, but there was not any contract for him at that time. From the age of 8, Alex began to shoot French TV Show and series. When he was 10 years old, PH*****World contact his parents for signing a contract to shoot a new information and game show designed for kids called “T.I.L.”, with his two sisters Alexia and Stephanie. He began famous in a part of the USA with that show, shot in Dublin, Ireland. He came back in France on September 11th, 2001 and was shocked when he learnt what happened in the USA. Specialist doctors followed him for several month after that shock. In 2002, he recorded his first song, “I Am”, published under PH*****Music Label. He entered here into the music world. In the same year, he gave his voice to Fox Adventure from the cartoon motion “The Little Man” and recorded few songs from the soundtrack, but the disc was sold by Internet only in Ireland, Spain and in few New York shops. In 2003, he shot his first movie with his sisters again, adapted from the cartoon “Fox Adventure: The Little Man and the Mysterious Vacations” where he acted the main character, Fox. In 2004, he recorded new songs. In 2005, PHT*****, broadcaster of “T.I.L.” chose to stop the TV Show because the audience was decreasing. To conclude it, the channel ordered the shooting of a movie based on the TV Show: Alex shot his second movie “It’s a Clue”. In that year, PH*****World died and turned in Global Productions. A few months after, PH*****Music lost its rights on disc in the USA, Canada, South America, Africa (excepted South Africa) and Asia (excepted Japan and Russia). Global Records was born and took all rights in these zones, and PH*****Music only sold in Europe, South Africa, Russia and Japan imported discs from Global Records. In 2005 too, Alex shot a new TV Show without his sisters. Based on a new TV concept, “The ClassMates’ ” first season became one of the most important PHT***** TV Show. It mixes reality-tv and sitcom show, showing pupils of a class during the year before the A-Level. In 2006, the “ClassMates’ ” first season’s second part was broadcast on the channel and was elected by teenagers as the Best Comic Show during the Teenagers Awards. Alex received an Teenagers Award for being the Best and Youngest Actor of 2006. In February 2007, Global Productions publicly recognized that Alex and his classmates’ were in South Africa for the shooting of a coming new movie based on the TV Show. In April, PHT***** broadcast “The ClassMates’ Movie: South African Adventures” . Program attracted an audience of almost 100 millions only in Europe during the live night premiere. During all these years, Alex also recorded songs and album but wasn’t know for music, but he recorded “Breakthrough” for the soundtrack of this movie which was a success. In summer 2007, he acted in a new horror movie: Alone in the Darkness. In end of 2007, Alex signed new contracts with Global, for the next “ClassMates’ Movie 2: Andiamo in Italia”, broadcast in January 2008, which was a new success. He signed for “The New Star Diary”, a new blockbuster where he acted Justin, new star’s friends, who is one of the most important character of the story (coming in end of 2008). He also signed for an best of his songs, with Global Records. “My Sanity” is coming in the USA and will come in February 2008 in Europe. Now, Alex is 16 and understood that the world doesn't go round like he thought when he was little. That's why he participate today to lots of charities to help children from all around the world ; he said in a radio station in Paris: "We live in the 21st century, and I think staying here at home, eating, drinking pure water, and buying Vuitton bags, whereas there is all around us little children who don't have anything to eat, drinking shit water, living under bridges, and die when it's too cold or because of viruses, is a crime. These children could be ours! We could be these children! We have to help us, because in the Human Rights Declaration, all children born equal." He also gave thouands dollars to children associations.
