CEO & Publisher
Alex Young began Consequence of Sound in September 2007 … And an individual passion quickly transformed into musical tour de force. In five short years, Consequence of Sound has evolved into a premiere online music publication, with recognition by Technorati as one of the world’s “Most Influential Music Websites.”
Working alongside the Consequence of Sound staff, Alex oversees in the planning and execution of the website's daily content. He also aids in many of the company's day-to-day business operations, including marketing, strategic partnerships and web development.
In addition to CoS, Alex has published on topics ranging from fantasy and college sports to professional baseball and basketball; and also served as a music correspondent to CBS Digital.
Alex is a graduate of Fordham University, lives in Chicago, and has trouble understanding the concept of relaxation.
