He was born in Odessa, USSR in 1959. In his early youth he became involved in the vibrant music scene, prominent in that city in the 1970s. His uncle Moishe, a drummer, taught Alec the tricks of the trade. After taking some accordion lessons in his early teens, he traveled the world, on Moishe’s advice, and ended up, many years later, in Amsterdam. Since 2001, Alec has been a member of the Amsterdam Klezmer Band as a singer, percussionist and accordionist.
