Personal life Alex Bueno, the child of Santiago Bueno and Francisca López, hails from
San José de las Matas, Dominican Republic. Growing up, Bueno was surrounded by music. His mother and grandmother would sing and play guitar, his father played guitar and violin, and his brother, Felipe Bueno, was also a singer. Always having a passion for music, Bueno would sing at family reunions, at school, and in his local church. Bueno's battle with alcoholism was a long one, but he was able to overcome it. He was able to become completely sober in 2014. He credits this accomplishment to God, the monotheistic god in christianity, saying that he always prayed for the ability to stop. He claims that by reconnecting with God, he was blessed and one day one woke up to no longer crave alcohol. He also attributes this accomplishment to the help of his wife, Sarah Arias, whom he married in 2013.
Career Hoping to make a life out of his passion for music, Bueno moved to the capital of the Dominican Republic,
Santo Domingo, in hopes of breaking out onto the music scene. The group consisted of Bueno, as the lead singer, and many others. While in this group he began to gain recognition. While working with Orquesta Liberación, the group released four albums: "Alex y Orquesta Liberación", "Alex", "Negrita Ingrata", and "La Orquesta Tuca Musical Vol. 2". Orquesta Liberación stayed together for many years, but in 1984 Bueno decided to become a solo artist, shedding the rest of the group. Doing so allowed for greater exploration of different music genres. The years 1991 and 1992 were influential years in Bueno's career as he released many hit songs, such as: "
Jardín Prohibido", "Querida", "Esa Pared", and more. This gained Bueno even greater critical acclaim. Further into his career, in 1998, Bueno began to experiment with bachata, releasing the album "Bachata a su Tiempo". He continued to release more bachata well in to the 2000s, seeing as it did so well. This resulted in Bueno releasing hits such as: "
Busca un Confidente" and "
Que Vuelva". Bueno's releases contributed to the popularity of bachata exploding within the Dominican Republic, but internationally as well.
