Hey! My name is Alex and I am a singer-songwriter and session guitarist born and raised in San Diego, California. I've been playing guitar since I was eight years old and have been writing music since seventh grade. After graduating high school, I went to Berklee College of Music for their summer program for three consecutive years honing my craft in songwriting and voice. I had the privilege of being selected for their songwriter showcase in 2015. Although I still have a lot to learn, I've always been fascinated with performing and making a career out of it, enjoying the ups and downs of the journey. I've been fortunate enough to open and perform with some rad bands such as HUNNY, Hey Violet, Hot Flash Heat Wave, Bombargo, Foxtide, benches, Sitting on Saturn, Buddha Trixie, and JARA.

These days, that solo venture has evolved into a new project, Dusk Drama. All of my original songs I've released under my solo project will now be performed (and probably rereleased) through there. I really liked the idea of starting fresh, and the name was coined from the countless evenings spent overhearing friends and strangers recount the tangled stories of toxic exes and current drama. Those conversations, almost always unfolding at dusk, inspired a name that felt both personal and universally relatable.

When I'm not writing and recording, I'm usually learning new songs to perform with different artists around San Diego. If you'd like to hire me as a guitar player for your project, whether it'd be to fill in for your band, a recording session, or to help finish a potential song, shoot me an email at alexlievanosmusic@gmail.com or contact me through my website on the “Contact” section to discuss what your goals are.
