From an early age, Alexander’s passion for music was evident. His mother fondly recalls how he would serenade himself to sleep as a toddler, long before he could even speak. Alexander lived in a quaint, rural village in the North of England before relocating to Atlanta with his family. He discovered the European School of Music, where he began his piano studies under the guidance of Jo Horvieth.
His talent blossomed rapidly, and he captured the hearts of the audiences when he was the youngest student chosen to represent the school at it’s 30th Anniversary concert and he was recently chosen again to represent the school in their 33rd Anniversary. Alexander won second place in the Charleston International Spring Music Competition in both piano and voice in 2025. Alexander was introduced to the music of Chopin at the European School of Music by hearing older students performing, and was inspired by them so he started listening to Chopin even in the car and fell in love with the Romantic composer.
His vocal talents earned him the lead role in the production of “Willy Wonka Junior,” showcasing his flair for performance. He also loves singing and playing the drums in his school’s rock band, “Quack Attack!” Today he serves as a source of inspiration for his peers with his expressive performances and is featured on the European School of Music’s YouTube channel.
In his leisure time he plays chess, card games and tricks and enjoys hiking with his family and two dogs, Laika and Ludo, in the scenic North Georgia Mountains.
