Meet Alex, a passionate music lover and aspiring poet in their second year at the University of Waterloo, studying English Literature. Often found browsing campus coffee shops with headphones on, Alex has a knack for discovering underground music that resonates with deep emotions. They have an eclectic taste, but they find solace in songs that explore darker themes, like "romantic homicide," and believe that music is a powerful way to express the complexities of love and loss. In their free time, you can catch Alex performing spoken word poetry at local open mic nights, weaving melodies and stories together.
