Alexander initially trained as a composer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, receiving a BAFTA New Talent nomination for the short film ‘Room 9’ in 2011 and graduating from the BMus (Hons) Composition programme in 2013.

He continues to write for the concert hall. Recent commissions include his new song cycle for mezzo-soprano and piano, performed at the Wigmore Hall in London and The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. His latest scene for baritone, flautist, and piano features a libretto by the renowned American poet Ron Padgett.

Alexander contributed to the Grammy Award-nominated original score for Hogwarts Legacy, and his works The Room of Hidden Things and A Focused Mind appear on the Hogwarts Legacy album Study Themes from the Original Video Game Soundtrack.

A trained pianist, Alexander performed Chopin’s ‘Raindrop’ prelude (Op. 28, No. 15) for inclusion in Hogwarts Legacy, and wrote and performed the piano score for the short film, The Groundsman, starring Harry Potter star David O’Hara.
