Alex Kusturok is a celebrated performer, instructor, and competition judge across Canada and continues to be in high demand. He is greatly influenced by the Quebecois and Cape Breton fiddle styles, however, the Métis style remains at the forefront of his playing.

Growing up, Alex followed his mother Patti to Old time dances around Manitoba where he was enriched with the Métis fiddle from a very young age. By age 7, the passion for music became apparent and fiddle became the focus of Alex's life.

Culture has always played a huge part in Alex's music and his life. His father, who is Ojibwe from Wabigoon Lake First Nation in Ontario made sure that Alex learned of his aboriginal heritage, which transferred into his music and gave him a set of values in which he lives his life. Between his mother's fiddle and his father's guitar, there is no question that Alex would take to the music and continue to pass on the tradition. He is a 3rd Generation fiddle player.

Alex has released four Independent Albums, with his most recent album, Phoenix, released this year. In his show, you can count on a display of culture through music and dance, stories of his upbringing, and a "hard driving" energy that will get everyone on their feet.
