An amazingly creative and talented saxophonist and flute player Alex holds true to his astrological sign of Libra. The symmetry and balance of his performances are simply awesome.  He has an unusual ability to play in such a way that does not overshadow fellow musicians yet he stands way above the crowd when improvising and playing solo.

His lifelong love affair with music and the saxophone began in middle school.  He was so intrigued by the saxophone that he started studying sax method books a couple of years before he actually got his first saxophone. His sister purchased his first saxophone because she could see his promise. He cited Eddie Harris as one of his first influences on sax.  He later picked up the flute studying and emulating jazz greats such as Hubert Laws and Nelson Rangell. 

He studied Music and Media at Norfolk State University.  He has performed with national artists “Tom Browne”, “Bob Baldwin”, “Roy Ayers”, “Levi Little(of BlackStreet fame)”, Stax Recording artists “N’Dambi”, “The Soul Children”, Grammy Winner and Stax legend “William Bell”, Gerald Veasley , Melba Moore, Jean Carne, and Bobby Lyle, artist/arranger/producer “Norman Conners and His Starship Orchestra” and more recently George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars,

His awesome saxophones and flutes can be heard on the soap opera theme for “Another Life”, CBN cartoon themes “Flying House” and “Super Book”, Levi Little’s “Star Ship” CD, Contemporary Christian Group-Isaac’s “City of Dreams” CD, Total Package Band's “T's Groove” CD, Randy Skinner's “Skin Tones In Pursuit” and his latest , William Bell's new album release “One Day Closer To Home”  and his own CDs “Part of Me”, “Merry Christmas 2007” and “Merry Christmas Re-loaded”(a re-issue of 2007).

His teaching experience included private lessons for intermediate level students and professionals at Norfolk State University. He served as a consultant conducting music workshops for Hampton High School with recording artist Tom Browne and with Dr. Alan Colon at Hampton University and Dillard University.
