“The most important thing to Alex Leong is making sure people have a good time when he plays his music.”
Alex Leong is an independent musician who has loved and hated the trombone since the age of 10, when it followed him home after school. He is the creator of trombone.alex, a fan-supported music library that features 150+ trombone transcriptions. Alex currently rolls with the Four Star Brass Band and keeps the dream of the 90’s alive with Don’t Speak: A No Doubt Tribute.
