About Us

Hi, I'm Alex Civijovski. I've been playing drums since 2006, inspired by my dad who is also a drummer. My passion for music grew throughout high school, where I completed Music as part of my HSC studies. At 15, I began formal training at Billy Hyde’s in Surry Hills, studying under Milan Troha for five years. I went on to complete a performance degree at JMC Academy in 2014 and later became a certified Drum Therapy Facilitator in 2016.

With years of experience performing in live music venues and pubs, I’ve played across a wide range of styles including jazz, rock, soul, funk, pop, RnB, and Latin. Whether it’s jamming in a session or performing on stage, I bring energy, versatility, and a deep love for rhythm to every beat.
