Meet Alex, a 20-year-old University of Waterloo student majoring in Environmental Studies. With a passion for electronic dance music (EDM), Alex spends weekends exploring local music festivals and creating playlists for friends. Although they originally thought these events weren't their scene, recent experiences at smaller gatherings have opened their eyes to the vibrant community in the EDM world. Always eager to learn and try new things, Alex is now keen to dive deeper into the genre and discover more about its culture.
