Alex is just a typical hunk, who knows everything about everything.

Age you started playing?
I reluctantly attended piano lessons during my primary school years, going through a few teachers and never sitting my first exam. After years of attempting to give it up each week before my lesson I was finally allowed to call it a day when my teacher disowned me over the school holidays. By this time I had fallen in love with the saxophone and knew it was what I wanted to do with my life
