Alex Campos

Alex Campos is a Christian singer, songwriter, and minister who has won numerous Latin Grammy, Premios ARPA, and GMA Dove awards. His music is well known throughout the Spanish-speaking Americas. Founder of the band Misión Vida, he released his live debut long-player, Tiempo de la Cruz, in 1999. Three years later, after touring across Central and South America, his studio debut Al Taller del Maestro went platinum. Since then, Campos has played for more than 400,000 fans annually. 2005's Como un Niño was certified multiplatinum. In 2010, he won a Vertical award for Album of the Year and his first Latin Grammy in 2011. 2013's Regreso a Ti enjoyed the same honor. In 2015 he issued the award-winning Derroche de Amor and followed it with a companion live offering in 2016. 2020's Soldados was a collection of duets with other Christian performers including Redmi 2, Madiel, and Michael B. Stuart. The following year's Renovado offered nine of his hits reinterpreted with new arrangements and revamped lyrics. Vida, a family-themed studio outing, appeared in 2023. Born in Bogota, Colombia, Campos began his musical career at age 14, not singing but playing the recorder in his church's worship group. At 17, his first real band, Misión Vida, functioned primarily as a worship group in church, though Campos was already writing songs. His debut studio album, 2003's Al Taller del Maestro, was released by the CanZion Group. The album was certified platinum by Asociación Colombiana de Productores de Fonogramas (ASINCOL). It also placed high on the Latin, American Christian and gospel charts and established Campos' career. He was nominated for four Premios ARPA awards and won for Composer of the Year. It was the first honor of many. His next offerings, 2004's Como un Niño and 2006's El Sonido del Silencio, didn't rank nearly as high. Campos began co-writing with his cousin Joshua Flores in 2006; the latter added more traditional Colombian folk flair to Campos' lyrics. In 2008, Cuidaré de Ti hit the Latin, Latin pop, and American Christian charts. In 2009, it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Christian Album (Spanish Language). By this time, Campos had become a YouTube sensation and his soul-stirring live videos racked up millions of views, pushing his concert album and video Te Puedo Sentir to a much wider audience. It too was nominated for a Grammy for Best Christian Album (Spanish Language) in 2010. Campos returned to the studio that same year, emerging with Lenguaje de Amor in August. It proved to be a Grammy winner in 2011; he took a second one for 2012's Regreso a Ti at the 2013 ceremony. That year, Hillsong: Global Project Español, on which he was a featured artist, won Spanish Album of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards. Campos and Flores stopped writing together in 2013. The singer issued Derroche de Amor, his first album in a decade without his cousin, in the spring of 2015. It entered both the Latin album and Latin pop charts. In 2017, Campos returned with the mariachi-tinged Momentos, which featured reworkings of past favorites alongside newly minted tracks. It received a Grammy nomination for Best Regional Mexican Music Album. He followed with the all-acoustic Como en Casa in 2018, again revisiting his catalog with unplugged versions of his songs recorded in a home studio. In 2020 he issued Soldados, a duet collection with contributions from a number of Latin CCM artists including Madiel, Indiomar, and Danay Suarez. The ten-track album also included three new originals performed solo. Campos returned to his catalog for 2021's Renovado, for which he revisited nine vintage songs. He thoroughly rearranged them with new instrumentation, revised and rewrote lyrics, and re-recorded them. In 2023, Campos released Vida, a ten-song set that cut across rhythms and styles from bachata and pop to rock and contemporary R&B; its songs revolved around various aspects of family life including marriage and fatherhood.
