His music ranges from upbeat finger picking folk ditties to full on indie-folk-rock-pop songs with hooky vocal lines for singalong. Alex started playing on a consistent basis across the city at the start of 2015 and has already plugged spots at Wickerman Festival and opened Electric Fields Festival!

In 2015, Alex was invited to perform at 'Folksville', 'Sofar Sounds Edinburgh' and 'The Listening Room' as well as having feature sessions with Edinburgh Unplugged and Catalyst Sessions. In 2016 Alex was a finalist at the Calmac Culture competition and played a solo set at the famous King Tuts in Glasgow. He has recorded his 4 track debut EP 'The Want Comes in Waves' which will be a more solo acoustic affair with more full band tracks already recorded for EP 2. The EP will be released late summer 2016 with ambitions to tour the UK and Europe following release. With a band being put in place Alex currently performs with singer and violinist Lissa Robertson.
