Alex Prol was born in 1979 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He began playing guitar at the age of 10 and for the following 7 years took private lessons with renowned music teachers in Rio. At the age of 18, Alex moved to Boston, to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and improve his guitar skills. In Boston, he honed his craft under the tutelage of a number of great musicians, such as Joe Stump, Jon Finn, Michael Farquharson, Jim Kelly, Suzzane Dean and also with Brazilian jazz singer Luciana Souza. He also worked professionally while studying at Berklee as a session player and played at Guitar Night 1998 – a concert sponsored by Berklee for its top 5 guitar players of the year.

Short after moving back to Brazil, Alex has worked composing and recording jingles for radio and TV as he has done back in Boston and began playing gigs with local artists. A couple years later, he started touring with major artists all over Brazil and South America. While playing big and renowned venues, music festivals and music awards with major artists for over a decade, he has solidified his reputation – but was eager for more. In late 2011, he made an important career decision moving to New York City and immersing himself in the music mecca of the world. 

Alex toured the US on the Guitar Gods tour 2014, opening for artists Yngwie Malmsteen, Bumblefoot (Guns ‘N Roses) and Gary Hoey as a hired gun.
