A fearless, clever songwriter with a knack for making dark and uncomfortable topics effortlessly funny, Alex is equally at ease on comedy or music stages, keeping things fun and funny with (as the Village Voice put it) “carefree (and sometimes careless) charisma.” (Still not sure if that’s good but it was nice to be noticed.)

Alex won the Judges’ Choice Award at the 2016 NEW YORK FUNNY SONGS FESTIVAL’s 50 FUNNY SONGS competition and founded the firebreathing 10-piece funk monster that is THE GET IT.

In 2024 Alex released  PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY, END TIMES, a darkly amusing reflection on pandemic isolation, despair and recovery, as well as a Christmas collaboration with Marco Benevento, "You Better Believe."
