You were popular as Bjorn Ironside on the History Channel’s TV series, Vikings. It was those two – acting or singing – or being homeless.

Was there ever another life-choice you wanted to pursue besides acting or singing country music? When you listen to this album, I want it to feel like you are on that road, experiencing the same things I did. I wanted this album to reflect that, not as much of a consistent story as it is a winding road of feelings along the Pacific Coast into the mountains. I titled it Highway 99 because that’s my favorite drive on the planet – it’s this long stretch of winding road from Vancouver to Whistler Mountain, and on that drive as a kid is where I got my music education. Talk a little bit about some of the songs and what this album means to you. You recently released your latest single Faded On Me which will be a part of the new album you have scheduled to release on August 26 via BBR Music Group/BMG, titled Highway 99. But I grew up listening to country music, it’s just a part of who I am, and speaks to so much of the life I try to lead. The fact that I am known as an actor first, I think, is simply because I found my way into that industry before I found one with country music. It all comes back to my love for storytelling, and country music in its own right is some of the greatest storytelling out there. You are not only an award-winning actor but now a country music singer. Award-winning actor and country music singer/songwriter, Alexander Ludwig, releases his debut album, “Highway 99,” on August 26, 2022. Soon afterwards, I started booking commercials and worked my way up. My mom, who has been my biggest fan since I was a kid, used to be an actress, and when I was nine years old I stole her phone and called her to ask for a meeting. Both music and acting have been something I have been drawn to for as long as I can remember – being a storyteller. I always knew that is what I was meant to do. Tell us a little about yourself and how your interest in acting began.
