Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alex Frizzell. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alex, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I definitely get my work ethic from my parents and grandparents. My grandpa and dad are two of the hardest working men I know. My mom is no slouch either. She’s been a mother, teacher, coffee shop manager and now a first class flight attendant!
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As a professional musician based in Nashville, TN, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates. My home studio is officially complete, and I’m now able to record high-quality drum tracks for songs and demos. This setup has been a game-changer as I dive deeper into the recording side of the music industry, a path I’m passionate about exploring.
When I’m not in the studio, I’m on the road touring the country with talented artists like Mark Mackay, Christie Huff, and Kaylin Kole. Each performance is an opportunity to connect with audiences and create unforgettable musical experiences.
I’m eager to see where this journey into recording and touring takes me next. Stay tuned!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back on my journey, three qualities stand out as being the most impactful: dedication, consistent practice, and trust.
Dedication has been the foundation of everything. Pursuing a music career isn’t always easy, but staying committed to my goals—even through challenges—has kept me moving forward.
Practice is where the magic happens. Whether it’s honing my drumming skills, learning new techniques, or improving my understanding of recording, putting in the hours has been key to growth. The work you do when no one is watching is what prepares you for when the spotlight is on.
Lastly, trust—both in myself and in others—has been essential. Trusting my instincts has helped me make big decisions, and trusting my collaborators has led to incredible opportunities. Music is a team effort, and surrounding yourself with people you respect and can rely on is crucial.
For those early in their journey, my advice is simple: Stay dedicated to your craft, practice with purpose, and build a network of people you trust and respect. Growth takes time, but every step forward brings you closer to where you want to be.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
There’s a book called Accents and Rebounds by George Lawrence Stone. This book has helped me immensely throughout my journey. I go back to it often and learn something new, or challenge myself in new and interesting ways!
