About Me

19-year old Alex's story like most great rock and roll tales begins, with a boy, a guitar and a head full of songs.
"I started teaching myself guitar when I was 14. I didn't have the patience to learn all the campfire classics, so I just started writing my own songs."
Alex's background is truly international. His mother is half-English, half-Danish, whilst his father is from Uruguay but currently lives in San Francisco and is himself a seasoned rock musician.
Throughout his childhood, Alex was immersed in all kinds of music, but cites some of his big influences as Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Cat Stevens, The Black Crowes and Aerosmith.
"I am glad, in a way, that my parents never forced me into anything, it meant I could come to music myself, says Alex. I mean when I was ten, I was playing soccer, not taking lessons all the time and that was what I needed to do then. But you know as soon as I started with music I couldnt stop. Its my life.
Extraordinarily versatile, Alex is as confident and comfortable singing acoustic love songs as he is rocking out with shimmering rock n roll anthems. Alex is currently working on his debut album which according to the man himself has taking a while but is sounding AMAZING!
