Alex Serra is a musician and explorer, from the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. His debut album In the Real World (2019) sprang from an inspiring four-year initiatory journey that began in 2012 and took him through Latin America and South Africa, where he connected with musicians from different musical roots that imbued his music with singular and regenerative energy.
In 2014 Alex landed in Cape Town where he met musician Yannick Meyer with whom he formed a brotherhood of heart. Together they started a "psychedelic African pop" project called Native Young, teaming up with a band of marimbas from the favelas of Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Philippi. This human cultural and musical exploration changed his life, inspiring him to explore his own musical universe on his return home in 2016.
In Barcelona, he started performing at some of the local open mics, such as the mythical Club Cronopios, under the stage name Gato Suave and connected with the urban music scene of the city. In 2017 a friend introduced him to Toti Arimany (Totidub) while he was looking for a producer to help him finish shaping his first demo. There the magic exploded again.
