As the 135th Rose Parade® presented by Honda culminates on New Year’s Day, Visit Lauderdale, the official destination marketing organization for Greater Fort Lauderdale, will debut their inaugural float design which will showcase local attractions, historical figures, and wildlife elements. The Rose Parade® is known for grandeur and will serve as a prominent stage for Visit Lauderdale to showcase the unique tropical charm to a global audience.
The electrifying anthem is set to make waves and bring sunshine vibes to listeners. “Laudy Dayo” is a celebration of life and the laid-back vibrant culture of Greater Fort Lauderdale. The song encapsulates the spirit of community and resonates with the diverse cultures that make up the tapestry of the destination. The lyrics serve as a beacon of positivity and resilience. As an impact artist, Star believes in writing positive lyrics that will inspire people to enjoy life while sharing meaningful moments with others. His portfolio of music is known for exuding happiness, love, hope, compassion, and acceptance of others.
“Having extremely talented and local artist Alexander Star create, compose and perform a song that showcases our destination in a unique and extraordinary way is yet another first for Visit Lauderdale as we continue to promote our destination,” said Stacy Ritter, president and CEO of Visit Lauderdale. “This brand new and original anthem speaks to the diversity of Greater Fort Lauderdale and paints its beauty in song.”
Star’s music has been featured in Super Bowl campaigns, prime time television, government broadcasts, and commercials. His global creative partnerships extend beyond borders, performing in over a dozen countries and even within the United Nations. Offstage, Star’s commitment extends to over a decade of musical mentorship, empowering at-risk teens—survivors of abuse, trafficking, and those in foster care—by helping them create and record their own original songs. This journey has cultivated Star’s natural gift for empowering others, marking his legacy as not just a performer, but a catalyst for positive change.
