Alessandro Guido "Alex" Baroni (22 December 1966 – 13 April 2002) was an Italian singer, active between 1994 and 2002.

A fifth posthumous record, a tribute album, and two more collections (one of which double, both of them containing previously unreleased material, and his greatest songs) came out after his death in 2002.

In fact, Alex graduated in chemistry at the University of Milan and at the beginning of his career as a musician he worked for several years as a chemistry teacher in public and private technical institutes,[3][4] while Guido graduated in mechanical engineering and obtained a chair at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of the Polytechnic University of Milan.

[5] At the end of the long hospital stay, in which he found in singing a fundamental distraction from the forced immobility, he took lessons from Luca Jurman,[6] formed a group with some friends and started to perform in various clubs in Milan, proposing covers of funk, soul and blues songs composed by both American and Italian artists, first of all Pino Daniele.

[7] In early 2002, after colliding with a car while driving his motorcycle in a Rome beltway, Baroni was hospitalized; he died several weeks later, on 13 April 2002.
