Born in Lachine General Hospital, and lived in Point Claire, Quebec. First born to Gabrielle and Jean Bourgeau. Was know for getting up at 3 am at the age of 2, to listen to Greek records by Nana Mouscouri.

Alex started out DJ'ing private parties for friends, and french private schools, until he decided to go Corporate, and weddings. Successfully provide music to hundreds of Bride and Groom parties for 10 years. Having a keen ear for music, and what people like, DJ Alex was able to provide music for any cultural backgrounds. English, Scottish, French, Asian, South Asian, and Russian music were just a few of the music languages he provided for special events.

He gave up the proffession because of the transportation demands. At this point enrolled in Sheridan College of Applied Arts and received honors standings in Sound Editing, and Video Production. Shortly after, because sound engineer for Harpers Restaurant and Dinner Theatre for 6 years, providing sound for the long running show "A Little Night Magic" and The Laugh Resort, a sister club of Harpers.

His first nightclub gig, came from The Red Spot, located on Church Street in Toronto, spinning the likes of current top 40, house, dance and retro. After a vacation to Cancun, Mexico, DJ Alex discovered a love for latin music, its passion and its dances. Immediately upon returning to his home town, he set out to learn as much about latin music as he could. Purchasing, listening and learning the differences between salsa, merengue, bachata, etc. DJ Alex approached the club owner to try and accommodate in increasingly growing latin crowd with a latin dance night. Titled "Latin Fever Fridays" The Red Spot became the home of the gay latin community, and was the only club on the street playing a range of english and latin music. DJ Alex found it difficult to spin after a while, because his access to latin music was limited. He then passed the torch to Vivianna, a latin female dj. The crowd continued to frequent The Red Spot, which DJ Alex still supported.

DJ Alex was then approached by El Convento Rico to spin. He was hesitant, because he beleived his knowledge of latin music was not vast enough to accommodate such a large venue. He auditioned, and was hired. Not only because of his music, but also because of his understanding of the latin community. With litterally thousands of CD's at his disposal, DJ Alex was able to take his work to a whole new level. With a bit of discomfort at first, DJ Alex persisted in learning the music, always wanting to make sure his audience has a new fresh selection every week, mixed in with the classics. Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata, and reggaeton were mixed in with Disco, Retro, House, Dance, RnB, Hip Hop.

He left El Convento Rico to experience a smaller club known as George's Play, a spot where the Red Spot Crowd visited after it closed. With his new knowledge of latin music, and now knowing latin artists and their styles, DJ Alex was a positive change to George's Play, where he played for 2 years.

Dj Alex wanted to try and see if he could please the non-latino audience (english) so he took a gig at Crews and Tango, Toronto's most popular gay and lesbian club. Right away he hit a cord with the owners and the clientelle. "DJ Alex knows what the crowd wants, and he looks at an empty spot on the dance floor trying to find a way to fill it. And he always did" said a regular on Saturday Nights.

Currently, DJ Alex has returned to El Convento Rico, as requested by management. El Convento Rico was losing its latin flair, and all hopes that DJ Alex could bring this back. Today, Rico's will be celebrating its 15th year.

Also in the works, DJ Alex is teaming up with recording artists to produce remixed versions of their songs. Dean Voon, also know as Hai will be releasing his second cd, which will include DJ Alex mixes and influences.
