Alexander Flood
One of Australia’s commanding beat-masters, Alexander Flood possesses a unique and finessed arsenal of groove, power, and expertise on the drums. Leading his own band from the drum chair, Alex’s music pushes a fresh rhythmic and dynamic realm of live dance music leaning on nu-jazz, deep-house, broken beat, DnB, funk, and experimental sounds. The band is catching ears within Australia and internationally, having recently performed at WOMADelaide, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, JazzMontez Frankfurt and clubs across Europe.
Winning Australia’s Best Up and Coming Drummer Competition in 2016 was just the beginning of Flood’s accelerating trajectory in music. After graduating top of his University jazz degree in 2017, Alex signed with US label Stretch Music to release his debut album HEARTBEAT, followed by his sophomore release The Space Between in 2022. Later that year Alex toured Europe with heavyweight 6x GRAMMY nominee Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah’s band. While in Berlin Flood recorded his third album Oscillate with an all-star lineup including Horatio Luna and Àbáse, releasing via Jakarta Records in May 2023. In 2023 Alexander was also the recipient of the highly prestigious Young Achiever Award at the Ruby Awards, as well as receiving the Robert Stigwood Fellowship (Government of South Australia). 2024 sees Alex touring Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the UK with his Australian band to promote his forthcoming album.
Some notable collaborators of Alex’s include Chief Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Àbáse, Horatio Luna, Vivian Sessoms, Cazeaux O.S.L.O, Nelson Dialect, Rob Edwards, performing with the ASO, WASO, QSO, as well as working with brands including Red Bull Music and Istanbul Cymbals.
