Biography

Alex was born and raised off Chelsea’s famous King’s Road, the cultural melting pot for the UK’s legendary music, fashion and arts scene. Jazz, folk, blues, rock or soul – from the Summer of Love to punk rockers hanging outside the nearby Chelsea Drugstore in the late 70’s – they all helped fuel an unstoppable, ever- growing appetite to harness the power of music. Cutting his first record aged 10 playing orchestra and singing choir, it was the the raw power of the Beatles songs and sound that ignited an irrepressible desire from aged 12 to write and perform in the popular music genre.

Alex learned bass, guitar, studied vocals (under the tutelage of Glynn Jones), played keyboards, drums, and began producing his own multi-track recordings from the age of 16, whilst also performing with live bands.

Having worked as a freelance musician throughout the UK, and performed with legendary blues artists in USA, Alex’s time in and out of studios eventually led him to establish his own professional recording facility (AGM Studios) in Fulham, London, where he wrote for and produced artists on independent and major record labels; Lulu, Harriet Roberts (Tina Turner, Quincy Jones), Randy Goodrum (Boyzone, Ray Charles), Oritse Williams (JLS), Keziah Jones, Sol Connell (Tina Turner), Richard Derbyshire (Living in a Box/Lisa Stansfield), Don Mescall (Ronan Keating, Rascal Flatts) and more.

Whilst traveling regularly to Los Angeles, Alex mostly works from his recording studio in London, which filled with guitars, ethnic instruments, classic mics and vintage analogue gear, combines perfectly with the convenience of digital to produce his distinct style and organic sound. A versatile producer, Alex sensitively blends classic influences with melodically inspired moods for contemporary film, TV and soundtrack.
