Daily Bruin: Is there a special meaning behind your album title, “Symphony Soldier”?
Alex Deleon: Well soldier is someone who fights for what they believe in and symphony is a body of music, so before there was ever the “Symphony Soldier” album, I had a symphony soldier tattoo, and before the symphony soldier tattoo there was a song called “Symphony Soldier,” and the song was pretty much my way of venting and saying, “Look – obviously I’m not a real soldier, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight for what I believe in or defend my beliefs and what I love in this world with my music.” “Symphony Soldier” is pretty much representing someone who fights for themselves and what they love.
