Alex Leys

Independent

For over more than a decade, drummer/ composer and educator Alex Leys has been writing, recording and performing solo drum music. 

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he studied classical percussion at the Buenos Aires Conservatory “Manuel de Falla” with Nestor Astutti. Then, after winning the “Drums and Percussion” magazine scholarship, took lessons from Argentinean master teachers Elias Heger, Daniel Volpini and Daniel Piazzolla. In 1999, composes and records “Searches”, his first album of solo works. 

His compositions go beyond the archetypical drum solo that we all know. Leys uses musical elements like harmony, melody and orchestration to give form and content to his work, truly solo percussion works. A musical statement. 

In 2003 records “Lonely Traveller” second solo CD and tours it until 2005, when he moves to Spain and works as a session player with artist like Rut Marcos, Michael Harrer, Guillermo Cides, Linda Cushma, Todd Clouser, Daiel, Pepe Bao, Javier Alcalde, Dressing Trio or Tres Gatos Swing among others. 

More recently Leys, keeps playing successful clinics, seminars and solo performance as a Solo Artist in cities like Tarragona, Vigo, Llodio (Alaba), Palencia, Ponferrada, Barcelona, Internacional PercuFest La Font de la Figuera (Valencia), Avilés, León and Burgos and also successfully tours and records along Chapman Stick master Guillermo Cides.
