ALEXANDR MISKO

German-based Guitarist, Composer, Innovator, and Teacher

Alex Misko, a modern fingerstyle guitar prodigy, mesmerizes audiences worldwide and represents a remarkable new generation in his craft. From viral videos to Carnegie Hall, his music bridges the old and new, captivating people online and at his live shows. With six albums, global tours, and a one-of-a-kind instrument, he's a true guitar maestro.

Still in his 20s, Misko’s performances have garnered widespread recognition both in his homeland and abroad. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering musicians who shaped and expanded the genre, Misko breaks new ground while staying true to the essence of the music, keeping the legacy of the genre as strong as ever.

Alex’s musical journey is both awe-inspiring and straightforward. He began playing at the age of 12, studying classical guitar with a private teacher for three years. After discovering modern "Fingerstyle" guitar music online, he went on a self-taught journey to master it.

In 2015, Misko's video featuring an original composition, "Guitar + Pen Tapping Song," rapidly gained over a million views, becoming his first big online success while he was still a high school student. Then, in 2016, his video cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" received more than 30,000,000 views on Facebook, marking a significant milestone in his entry into the international guitar scene.

His next album's first single, a rendition of George Michael's "Careless Whisper," gained over 80,000,000 views on Facebook and YouTube within a month in 2017. Since then, Misko's YouTube channel has experienced exponential growth, now boasting around 900,000 followers. In October 2018, he was honored with the prestigious title of "Guitarist of the Year" by the renowned UK magazine "MusicRadar."

In November 2019, he released his third solo album, "Roundtrip," recognized for its innovative sound and mature compositions, being a pinnacle of his musical work at that time. In January 2020, he shared the stage of the iconic Carnegie Hall alongside world-renowned harp player Alexander Boldachev. This initial collaboration later blossomed into a dynamic duo, leading to the creation of an exciting live show where such different instruments work as one. Since then, aside from their solo work, Alex & Alex perform together at festivals worldwide, both guitar and classical music-oriented.

Throughout the years, Misko has released six albums and actively performed across the globe, everywhere from America to Japan, playing concerts and also teaching at workshops and lectures. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic and not being able to travel, Alex continued to build his profile and audience, maintaining his connection with fans and exploring new grounds in collaborations.

In 2021, Misko released the album "Take Your Time" with one of the most promising European bassists, Dmitriy Toporov, following the success of several popular videos and singles from the duo. Around the same time, the German brand “Baton Rouge Guitars” and Alex created a never-seen-before instrument to realize all the new ideas that not a single normal guitar could handle. They called it Frankenstein Guitar, and this is something worth seeing. It is the only acoustic guitar in the world that allows a player to do quick tuning changes on the fly thanks to the unique triple detuning system, modified with a percussive drum-kit system and 14 pickups to bring its sound on stage in its true massiveness.

Misko tirelessly collaborates with fellow musicians like Jon Gomm, Mike Dawes, Andrea Valeri, and Alan Gogoll, aiming to strengthen the guitar community to make it a friendly, supportive, and joyful place for everyone, regardless of where they come from. In 2023, he made the significant move from Russia to Germany. This decision marked a new chapter in his career, allowing him to work with other European artists easily and do more extensive tours.

The same year, the Alexandr Misko Signature Guitar was released in collaboration with “Baton Rouge Guitars,” based on the experimental Frankenstein. Misko’s goal was to create a unique but affordable guitar tailored for modern fingerstyle playing, giving other musicians the possibility to follow in his footsteps but create something new and different thanks to this new instrument.

With a special style that seamlessly blends technical innovation and musicality, Misko's original compositions resonate with listeners from all walks of life, as his music transcends cultural barriers and speaks a universal language.
