About
Alex has been recording, producing and making music for over 15 years.
In 1998, whilst living in Newbury, Alex worked for the legendary pedal steel player Gerry Hogan (founder of Hogan’s Heroes) at his music store, in-between playing with his own band Yield.
Yield won several competitions, which led to recording sessions at the Courtyard Studio in Abingdon, as well as the opportunity of providing tour support for the bands, Funeral For A Friend and Hell Is For Heroes.
After moving to Weymouth in 2002 he studied Music Technology and quickly became addicted to the recording process and quickly lead him to devote his endeavours to its study
In 2004 Alex started working at Finn’s Bar, one of the top live venues in the southwest and became their in-house engineer. At Finn’s he would set up, maintain and run the PA most weekends and still goes back occasionally to fill in. He provided live sound for hundreds of bands including some of the top tribute acts in the country and received an education in the school of everything metal.
Wanting to pursue a career in the music industry, He studied for the Higher Diploma in Music Production at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, for which I gained a Distinction. He continued his studies and last year completed my degree in Contemporary Music Production at ACM. During his first year he became involved with several bands and had releases with the metal band Wakeham’s Terrortory, which received good reviews in Powerplay magazine.
Most recently he have completed tracks for ACM songwriters Danny Leigh and James Kelly, the latter of which has recently enjoyed airtime on BBC Radio.
In september 2011 Alex started assisting at The Chapel Studios in London under the guidance of composer/producer Steven Williams.
