Toronto, Ont Canada
Toronto violinist Alex Cheung left his engineering job in 2003 to become a fulltime musician and music teacher. Judging from the picture, he's pretty happy so far! Alex teaches violin and fiddle styles, theory and arrangement. He plays in a few interesting bands, such as the Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra - an art rock group consisting of operatic soprano, violin, cello, soprano sax, drums and bass; an acoustic 80's band called the McFlies, a 7-piece band that incorporates ukuleles, accordions, melodicas, banjo, hand percussion, guitar and violin into their 80's repertoire; and a fun, high-energy Celtic group fittingly named Up All Night. Alex has written some intrumental music in the past, the song Violin Man was co-written with singer/songwriter Paul Manchin in 2007 and co-produced by Alex and Andrew Seok.
