Summary
- Alex Warren taught creativity and filmed a music video with students.
- He discussed his past high school resemblance to Shawn Mendes.
- Warren is currently on his 'Finding Family on the Road' world tour.
Singer Alex Warren recently spent a day as a celebrity substitute teacher for second graders at PS11 in Queens, New York. As part of the visit, he educated the students on creativity and collaborated with them to film a music video for his song "Emerald Eyes."
During his time with the children, Warren, who is currently on his "Finding Family on the Road" world arena tour, fielded numerous questions. He humorously recounted how classmates in high school believed he resembled Shawn Mendes, a comparison Warren himself does not see.
The singer, who released his album WILDCHILD on August 28, 2026, shared personal stories, including meeting his wife at 18 and their early romantic struggles. He emphasized that "Emerald Eyes" is a feel-good dance song inspired by his wife.
Warren allowed the students to take creative control of the music video, using GoPros and 360-degree cameras. He admitted initial nervousness but found the experience so rewarding that he didn't want to leave, expressing his admiration for the children.
