Aleks Syntek is a Mexican singer, songwriter and producer. He is married to Karen Coronado, sister of talkshow host Ingrid Coronado. In 1989, Syntek composed the songs "Muevete a mi alrededor" ("Move around me") and "Sienteme" ("Feel Me") sung by Mexican artist Sasha Sokol.
On Mexican pop trio Pandora's album, "999 Razones", he wrote "Invisible" and "¿Por que seguir?" with Alex Zepeda. In 1990, he wrote "Sacudete" ("Shake Yourself") and "Escapar de ti" ("Escape From You") included on pop group Timbiriche's album "10". The same year he formed a group called Aleks Syntek y la Gente Normal. His first album, "Hey tu!" ("Hey You!"), included the single "Unos quieren subir" ("Some people want to climb"), as well as "Te quiero así" ("I Love You Like That") sung with Sasha Sokol. In 1998, he covered the song "Preso" ("Jailed") included in the album "Volcán: Tributo a Jose Jose", a tribute to the iconic singer Jose Jose. As of 2008, he is working on a crossover album for the English-speaking market. The album will consist of English versions of his past Spanish hits, such as "Duele El Amor" (Love Hurts) and "Intocable" (Untouchable).
In 2008, Syntek collaborated on song "Aquí Estoy Yo" with singers Luis Fonsi, David Bisbal and Noel Schajris, a song included on Latin Grammy Award-nominated album Palabras del Silencio by Luis Fonsi. On August 30, 2009, he released a new single titled "Loca" also used as the main-theme for telenovela Los Exitosos Perez and first single from his latest album. "Loca" reflects a reimaging of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" music video. Syntek is credited with singing in the chorus for Somos El Mundo, a production by Latin American artists in order to raise awareness and inspire charity after the tragic earthquake in Haiti. He can also be seen in the music video.
