Alex Serra is a musician and explorer, from the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. His debut album ‘In the Real World’ (2019) springs from an inspiring four-year self-discovery journey starting in 2012 and taking him through Latin America and South Africa, where he connects with musicians from different musical roots that permeate his music with a unique and regenerating energy.

In 2014 Alex lands in Cape Town (South Africa) and meets musician Yannick Meyer with whom he forms a heartfelt brotherhood. Together they start an ‘African psychedelic Pop’  project called Native Young, joining with a marimba band form the townships of Gugulethu, Kayelitsha and Philippi. This cultural and musical human exploration changes his life, inspiring him to explore his own musical universe on his return home in 2016.

In Barcelona he begins to play at some of the local open mics, such as the legendary Club Cronopios, under the stage name Gato Suave and connects with the urban music scene of the city. In 2017 a friend introduces him to Toti Arimany (Totidub) while looking for a producer who can help fine touch his demo album. Then the magic exploded once again.

[Alex] My dream is to keep learning about music from different roots and cultures, and to share it while I explore my own universe of music and self love. And to create films that help inspire that wild kid in me and hopefully other kids too.
