Overview
American Idol 2014 finalist Alex Preston shares his name with several other musicians around the world (including a person in Australia), so it was a bit confusing when trying to track down info on him at the start of the season. Although his full name is Alex Preston Philbrick, he seems to prefer to drop the last name lately, even though it would make him easier to identify as the right singer you are looking for!
