Alvin J. Ancar, Jr., President and Founder
A leader and entrepreneur at heart all his life, Alvin studied business marketing at the University of New Orleans.
He later completed training with the electrician’s Local Union#130 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and has worked as a journeyman electrician in New Orleans, LA for the past twenty-five years.
During this time, he also nurtured his true passion - music - which has been an integral part of his life for the past thirty years..
An international entertainer, Al Ancar's style is reflective of the smooth sounds of the Motown era. Incorporating the glitz and highly stylized showmanship of Vegas, this world-class entertainer dazzles his audience; captivating and holding them spellbound with his electrifying stage presence, while leaving them swooning and demanding more at the end of each performance.
When
asked what inspired him to form A.J.A. Community Services, Inc., Al
responded, "Having
worked in the music business for so many years, I saw the need to give back to
the community by bringing quality entertainment to those who would otherwise be
unable to attend a concert. Also, the need to keep our roster of multi-talented
entertainers gainfully employed is crucial to the preservation of the
culture of the music industry as we know it."
Al’s debut CD, Hopeless Romantic, features a diverse array of styles, and has received rave reviews nationwide.
