Bio:
Alchemist aka Alex, is a 26-year-old producer and DJ, originally from Madeira, Portugal. Raised in Devon, England, and now based in Surrey, Alchemist’s musical journey began at a young age. His passion for music production started when he was just 12 years old, experimenting with a cracked version of Logic to create quirky tracks that are still hidden away in his vault today. At 14, he taught himself guitar and later went on to join a trio, touring Europe at 16 and 17.
While Alchemist initially aspired to be a studio engineer, his path took a turn after he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Production. After completing his studies and navigating the challenges brought on by COVID, he realized his true calling was creating music of his own.
Alchemist’s debut albums, ‘Rufige Dreams’ and ‘Alchemy 101’, showcase his deep-rooted love for old-school jungle and 90’s drum and bass. His production style blends nostalgic rave sounds with new, innovative elements and heavy basslines. He continues to spend a lot of time in the studio, working on a highly anticipated new album, set to release in early summer 2025.
His career so far has been marked by invaluable networking and collaborations with both established artists and up-and-coming talents. Alchemist believes that building connections is one of the most important aspects of being an artist, and it’s something that keeps him inspired and motivated; with a passion for pushing the boundaries of sound and a commitment to his craft.
