Alex Gibson is a 22 year old guitar player living in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He was born in Satu Mare, the town where he also graduated Art’s High School with classical guitar as his major. Alex started studying the guitar ar the age of 13 when a guitar teacher moved in the neighbourhood and told him that his fingers and his whole hand would match a guitar neck very comfortably and that could be a big advantage. So, the guitar lessons began...
After 3 years of studying the guitar, Alex had his first band. They performed at a local festival, PlopStock, where they had success, and had the chance to meet other musicians. After the show, the band broke up as the other members were studying at universities in other cities.
Former basketball player, at the age of 17, Alex decided to change schools and after taking an exam he started attending Art’s High School with classical guitar as his major. This was a huge step as he started studying musical theory as well, along with developing his guitar playing skills. There was a street music festival in his native town, where many musicians from other countries came to perform. Alex joined the competition and played some guitar instrumental songs and won the Special Prize for being a great performer.
