Alex Geringas - The Man Behind The Musical Magic Of Disney - Exclusive Interview

Recently, I got to speak with composer and Grammy-Award-winning songwriter Alex Geringas, who has had the distinct pleasure of creating many songs and musical numbers for the Disney Universe.

Alex is the co-writer of the song “My Kind of Monster” for the Disney Channel Original movie "Under Wraps 2", alongside the film’s directors Alex Zamm and Michael Goode. The song is full of energy and celebrates letting your freak flag fly. It was performed by cast members Malachi Barton, Christian J Simon and Sophia Hammons. The movie centers around three friends Amy, Gilbert, and Marshal who band together once again to keep their beloved mummy friend Harold and his love, Rose, safe from the wrath of an evil mummy. Alex’s song My Kind of Monster captures the festive feel of Halloween, and is a great companion for this family-friendly feature.
 
Alex’s music can also be heard at Disneyland. Along with Duddy Brown, he created the theme song for Disneyland’s firework show, “Wondrous Journeys,” entitled “It’s Wondrous.” The lyrics are enchanting, and the music is uplifting as it crescendos to a magical climax. The song explores “the magic that we call life,” which encapsulates the Disney vibe perfectly.  Continuing his work in the Disney realm, Alex also co-wrote the theme song for "The Chicken Squad" on Disney Junior.  Additionally, he wrote the lyrics and produced the Camp Minnie theme song for "Minnie’s Bow-Toons".
