As we noted on Monday, the Smithers musician won his first Grammy on Sunday evening, taking the coveted Gramophone award for his album Mendo, which won the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
In his comments for the Legislature, Mr. Cullen recounted how he first met the now Grammy winner and observed of his connection to the Bulkley Valley.
I first met Alex as an amateur promoter in Smithers, B.C. That career didn't last long, but I was very grateful to bring him in.
It was on the advice of a former colleague of ours who has since departed, Bill Goodacre, who was Alex's father-in-law.
Will the House please join me in recognizing Alex, his amazing partner Sarah and his entire Cuban and Smitherine family for his great award last night.
