alex de rosso

Alex De Rosso's passion for rock guitar began in 1982 in Padova, Italy.

In 1995 Alex entered the international scene when Alfa Brunette released in Japan "Alex De Rosso", his self titled cd. In the same year "Music Connection" rated Alex's demo as one of the best 10 demos of the year, the best in instrumental rock, and he started to play in music conventions and fairs like the Namm Show in Los Angeles, the Frankfurt Musikmesse in Germany, and the Interexpomusic & the Disma Music Show in Italy.

In 1997 Alex started to record his second album "Ossimoro", that has been released in 1998.

In 2002, right after the release of his third album, "The thin line between black and white", Alex joined DOKKEN taking over guitar duties when John Norum (Europe) left the band.

As the new DOKKEN guitar player, Alex toured in 2002 and 2003 playing something like a 100 shows.

In the middle of all this, Alex recorded as lead guitar player the album “Vertigo” featuring Joseph Williams (TOTO) on vocals, and the album “Perfect World” with Kelly Hansen (Hurricane, Foreigner) on vocals.

Back in Italy, after the Dokken days, in early 2004 Alex started to work on productions @ “the cube”, his own recording studio.

In the meantime Alex started a new great hard rock band, Headrush, with the great Italian vocalist Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth). The first and self titled album of Headrush has been released worldwide in 2005.

Alex is currently working on productions @ the cube, while collaborating with many bands and artists.
