He recorded some solo work, which fellow band member Charlie Simpson believes to be "just like Jeff Buckley". Although seen by fans as "the quiet one" in Fightstar his talents do not go unnoticed by many and he contributes actively to Fightstar's music.

Living now with his girlfriend, Becky in London, outside of Fightstar Alex enjoys playing computer games, paintballing and spending time with his school friends. He also is a talented traditional painter, and created multiple freehand sketches for their first EP 'They Liked You Better When You Were Dead'.
