I’m Alex Martinez—a husband, dad, and lifelong creative. Music is an essential part of who I am. As a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, I released a vinyl record with my former band, Los Monoplonicos, in 2019. Whether I’m writing songs or exploring new instruments, music is where I recharge and find inspiration.
When I’m not making music, I love working on personal projects that let me experiment and create. I’m also a big fan of video games—they’re a fun escape and a great way to unwind after a busy day. At my core, I’m someone who’s always exploring, learning, and finding joy in the little things.
