Alex is a dedicated and innovative music tutor, producer, musician, composer and arranger, who aims to inspire musicians and producers to improve their craft through positive, captivating teaching.

Alex brings a unique combination of contemporary and traditional influences to his music and productions. Having received a first-class degree in Music Production with Jazz Guitar from the Academy of Contemporary Music, Alex combines his love for electronic music, harmony and sound design to create exciting and original soundscapes and productions.

Alex has composed and produced music for BBC documentaries, award-winning films, major commercial labels (including Universal and Warner) and promotional videos for world-renowned brands like Nike and HSBC. He approaches his work with a versatile mindset and has worked on projects which span the genre spectrum, from electro-pop productions to classical guitar compositions.

Having been based at Tileyard London as a Studio and Technical Manager for four years, Alex has an in-depth knowledge of commercial studio practice and audio engineering and has worked on recording sessions for a number of established artists including Sam Smith, Sigala, Ella Eyre and Jax Jones among others.

In addition to his technical work, Alex has considerable experience composing, arranging, orchestrating, and editing scores and has worked on film and television compositions with ensembles ranging from 40-piece orchestras to string quartets. This has led to projects with the likes of Spitfire Audio, working on their ‘BBC Symphony Orchestra Library’ and ‘Cello Quartet’ sample packs.

As a session musician, Alex has acted as a musical director, guitarist, keyboard player and bassist for several artists such as Charlotte OC, Samantha Harvey, Mega, and Carrie Baxter, playing shows across Europe and the US. This has included directing full band festival gigs at South by South West Festival in Texas, playing acoustic sessions live on German radio in Berlin and performing at many of London’s most celebrated venues such as King’s Place and Cadogan Hall.

My teaching experience includes:

- Holding group masterclasses for post-graduate students in music theory, harmony, arrangement, music production and Avid’s Sibelius.

- One-to-one lessons in music theory, harmony, arrangement, production and mixing for students ranging from GCSE – post-graduate level.

- Guitar and piano lessons for a wide range of ages and abilities (grades 1 – 8), covering genres such as jazz, pop, rock, flamenco and classical.

- Online production and music technology tutorials.

- Acting as a mentor to post-graduate students on industry song-writing camps, providing feedback on mixing, songwriting and production of tracks being pitched to major labels.

- Mentoring new bands and artists, assisting with songwriting, production, guitar playing, piano playing and career development.

In addition to tutoring, I have been working as a professional musician, producer, session guitarist and musical director in the industry for four years. I have worked alongside artists signed to major labels including Universal, Warner and Columbia, playing across the globe in Europe, the US and more. This work has ranged from running full band festival gigs in Texas, to playing on live acoustic radio sessions in Berlin to composing and producing music for BBC documentaries.
