It’s hard to believe that only five years ago this young DJ was busy playing guitar – to all his favourite teen-angst rock bands – to even realize what was going to happen next… After taking a job in a local nightclub picking up glasses, Alex quickly developed a passion for dance music that soon took over his life. After picking the brains of the resident DJ’s, Alex traded in the guitar for a set of decks and quickly landed a residency spot in a local nightclub.

After catching the eye of one of Australia leading DJ’s JIMMYZ, he was encouraged to join the highly successful 4PLAY Gold Tour, and hasn’t looked back.

Since then Alex has been seen playing some of the most popular and biggest night spots in Queensland, including: Fitzy’s MBar (Loganholme), Narrangba Valley Tavern, Envy (Gold Coast), NYE Sugarland Tavern (Bundaberg), Rolling Rock (Noosa), Brothers (Ipswich), and the Wharf Tavern (Sunshine Coast), and closing the night at the ever-popular Caxton St Seafood Festival (17,000+ people for an annual street party celebration).

As well as playing some of Queensland’s biggest crowds Alex has also shared the stage with Australia’s biggest acts such as JimmyZ, Nick Skitz and World Champion Beat-Boxer Joel Turner, as well as a plethora of Brisbane favorites. DJ Alex Fischer has quickly developed the ability understand and engage his audience as he’s no stranger to playing everything from classic top 40, hi nrg, old school and even some crazy reworked rock mixes, but the end result is always going to get the crowd moving.
