Still Love You
Based on a true story, Still Love You tells the story of the challenges a young couple faces both before and after cancer devastates their lives.
Still Love You Origins
In March of 2021, my wife was diagnosed with what we thought was Stage 1 breast cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy, it was revealed that she was actually closer to Stage 3. We were also informed that she was HER-2 positive and that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes which required her to endure several forms of chemotherapy as well as radiation causing her to lose all of her hair and nails. This left her in a state of deep depression. In an attempt to strengthen and uplift her spirit, I decided to write a song for her which later became known as Still Love You.
As a hip hop artist, writing a love song was outside of my norm which is why I recruited the help of 4x platinum producer DJPain1 and R&B singer Traxx Sanders to assist me with creating this piece. My wife was so happy after hearing the song that it inspired me to write a treatment for a potential music video. Being that I’ve never directed a music video before, I enlisted the help of Sergio Lorenzana and Christian Maiko and together, we created the Still Love You music video that you see today. I sincerely hope that this video and our story can encourage others who are battling cancer to fight the good fight. – A Ali
Biography
My name is Alexander Ali. I’m a songwriter, screenwriter, mix and recording engineer from Portsmouth, Virginia. As a 10+ year cancer survivor, I’ve learned that life is too precious to waste. Because of that, I believe that we should all take the time to do what makes us feel happy and fulfilled. Creating music has filled that void for me. I write original Hip Hop and R&B songs based on my rollercoaster of a life. I’ve seen and endured a lot so I feel obligated to share my thoughts, feelings and artistry with the world.
