Born and raised in Long Island, New York, by actress, Laura Carrington, and famous fashion and jazz photographer, Anthony Barboza, Alexio Barboza grew up in an artistic environment where he developed a fascination for the arts and a fondness for singing and acting. He was cast in his first theatrical production at the age of nine in Mandela, an oratorio at the Crossroads Theater in New Jersey. His early professional career propelled him as an Equity actor to perform on the Broadway stage as Young Simba in Disney's The Lion King, in Off-Broadway shows working with directors such as Stephen Schwartz, and thrice performing at Carnegie Hall.

 

Throughout his higher education at Albright College in Pennsylvania, and at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, Alexio received coaching and tutelage in acting techniques and vocal skills from a plethora of highly-trained professors and individuals. Presently, he is living in New York, and is pursuing his career in acting, both on stage and in film.

 

In addition to performing, Alexio is a talented bagpipe player (having also begun playing at the age of nine), and performs at various events throughout the year.
