ABOUT

Hey music lovers!

I'm Alex (31), a versatile musician looking for awesome collaborators.

https://www.tiktok.com/@alexanderstrums

My main instrument is guitar (20+ years of serious practice), with a high level of competency playing drums and singing.

Guitar: my primary skill: I've been inspired by legends like Page, Hendrix, Mayer, Emmanuel, and Andy McKee. Whether it's catchy pop tunes or face-melting solos, I'm your guy, able to play by ear, read/write tab and sheet music.

Drum Dynamo: I've been behind the kit for two decades, bringing solid rhythms to any project. My styles and influences are unlimited ranging from rock, funk, metal, Bossa nova through to electro.

Vocal Virtuoso: With a wide vocal range and control, I can adapt to any genre.

Composition Maestro: Songwriting is my forte, and I love creating original pieces, currently sitting on over 60 pieces of original material I'm excited to share and collaborate with.

Acoustic Guitar: I can mesmerize with intricate fingerstyle playing, percussive and harmonics, alternate tunings with complex rhythms through to good old 4-chord pop tunes that could bring a hardened criminal to tears.

Team Player and Leader: I strive myself on professionalism, being the best I can be at my craft, and I'm great at collaborating, taking direction, and providing guidance where welcomed. Above all of this, I strive to be a great lad to hang out with, plenty of banter and good times.

Ageless Spirit: At 31, I stay current with music trends and love the classics. Everyone has an opinion on their favorite bands/artists and that's awesome.

Balancing Act: I love having a good time, but I approach music with professionalism and attention to detail.
