Frisco teen Alex from Target uses Internet fame to start singing career

You haven’t seen the last of Alex from Target.

Frisco teenager Alex Lee, who stumbled upon Internet stardom after a photo of him bagging groceries at Target swept the web last fall, is using his few days of fame to kick-start a singing career.

When that famous photo of Alex went viral last year, #alexfromtarget appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and spawned hundreds of thousands of new Twitter followers in a matter of hours.

Alex says he’ll post videos weekly with updates.
