The DJ and producer, Alexander deQwest developed a unique interest in music quite early, directly inspired by having a live band playing in the living room every weekend at home during his childhood.

He has established a worldwide reputation for excellent technical DJ mixes and inspiring, colourful selection of tracks. This has been his trademark since he started out in 1989, and he has been keeping it real on the decks ever since.

Playing his first gig at the age of 15, it took only 3 years before Little Alex was a household name on the Norwegian club scene.

He stayed on the road for much of the nineties DJ-ing in cities all over Norway --with regular gigs in select venues in cities as far apart as Oslo, Bergen, and Kristiansand. He arranged his first straight house party in 1993 and made his first appearance abroad (US) in the same year. His musical journeys have been across many genres of music, and his sets today consist of Deep, Jazzy, and Jackin'Tech House.

Alexander deQwest also does unique NuJazz Sessions with his own distinctive style of modern Jazz --featuring live musicians and vocals on stage along with him, the vinyl and his decks.

Alexander has been doin mixshows at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, producing for some of the finest rappers in Norway, performing and hosting several live radio shows. He has been the chosen DJ for red-carpet gigs like the Nordic Music Awards, Oslo Fashion Week and parties for leading music and lifestyle magazines amongst others.

Alexander has performed throughout Scandinavia, Europe and the US. He has been DJ-ing alongside such notable DJs as Fred Everything (Lazy Days), Dennis Ferrer (Objektivity), Mr. V (Soul Heaven), Luke McKeehan (Nordic Trax), Justin Martin (Dirtybird), Tim Deluxe (Cement), Nicky Siano (Studio 54) to name only a few.
