Alex Brans

Writing music provides the perfect vehicle with which to explore the many regions that lie outside the confines of jazz, funk, trip-hop, rock, singer-songwriter and soul-grooves. Joined by various musicians for live shows, Alex writes, plays and produces all of the material.


Growing up he was heavily influenced by his dad’s classic rock, jazz and blues vinyl collection. That helped mould the sound that he enjoys to play, later on he got into 90’s hip hop and funky jazz of the 70’s era as well as electronic sounds of <a href="spotify:artist:6FXMGgJwohJLUSr5nVlf9X" data-name="Massive Attack">Massive Attack</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:67tgMwUfnmqzYsNAtnP6YJ" data-name="Groove Armada">Groove Armada</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi" data-name="Daft Punk">Daft Punk</a>


He has released 6 albums in a wide array of styles, Trip-hop, Jazz, Funk, House, Drum and Bass and singer-songwriter. Some of my songs can also be heard on various tv shows and commercials.
