Alex Markham is a musician and producer based in South East London. He founded The DAW Tutor in 2017 and has been teaching music production professionally since 2012.
A masters graduate with distinction from the prestigious Leeds Conservatoire, Alex is a veritable Cubase veteran, having used Steinberg products since the late 90s. He is proud to be recognised as a Steinberg Certified Trainer and he loves helping his students to make their musical dreams come true.
Alex has worked in all corners of the music industry, including stints at large entities such as Universal Music and Global Radio. He has recording credits on Quantize Recordings, Soulstice Music and AOR Heaven.
Outside of his work with The DAW Tutor, Alex’s main focus is working as a producer and writer in the R&B and Neo Soul genres. He is also an established artist on the retrowave scene and the longtime guitarist and producer of UK metal band Shaft of Steel.
I had been looking for years to find someone to help me get to grips with DAWs and Alex was that person, at last! Hands-on teaching and no messing around as everything you do in the lesson is relevant. Absolutely fantastic training and I couldn’t recommend him more.
Alex was a lifesaver when my son was struggling with multiple assignments for his music production diploma. He was reliable and patient and took the time to explain where there were gaps in my son's knowledge and practical skills - I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Alex prepared our daughter for her A level Music Technology. He was a most committed, knowledgeable and encouraging tutor who went beyond the call of duty to ensure that she understood and was confident for her exam. He was well organised and resourced, offering advice and guidance with patience and a passion for music. We can thoroughly recommend him as an expert teacher.
