\_\_History\_\_

Alex’s early life was not very special. He lived in a rather low-income family that did their best to simply get by with what they had (more the best they could do with the little money). Alex was mostly homeschooled and spent most of his free time helping his family on errands. He was always accompanied by his older brother as it takes a team to get work done. This is what got him used to the hustle just finding any way to make some sort of money for his family.

However, the way he found himself as a musician is rather interesting. It all started from just another errand at the age of 9. This job was to help clean the kitchen of a bar, pretty simple. The job went very smoothly without any real issues however, when he went out of the kitchen to help with other small things, he experienced something very unique. In the bar there was a small jazz ensemble performing. This was the first time Alex has ever heard anything like this and it enthralled him. He became obsessed with the unique sound and drive this group created. After what felt like hours the group wrapped up and started to pack up. Alex, being curious, approached the musicians after to talk. All the players were very friendly to the young Alex as they shared many of their experiences of music and their knowledge of music as a whole. That was when Alex stated that he would want to be a musician like them one day, but he knew deep inside that there was no way he could afford one. However, the saxophonist gave him something. A very rusty, used clarinet. Alex was delighted. Throughout the years he learned how to repair and restore instruments as he slowly fixed the clarinet. Every week he also made sure to visit the bar to listen to the band. He always had a smile when listening to their music. Once his parents caught on to the whole situation, they actually approached the group to ask where on earth they could find an affordable tutor. That day must have been a lucky one as one of the musicians said he can give Alex some weekly lessons as he had gone out of his way to say hi to them at every performance and he managed to fix an instrument. After years of practice Alex was a highly skilled musician, being able to read scores better than an actual book. He even managed to help earn some cash with his own performances.

When he was 18, he went to the bar as usual to see that the band he fell in love with was gone. As he found out that they died in a mugging. However, he just shook it off. People die and he has other things to worry about.

At 19 the biggest shock hit him. His father was diagnosed with a terminal disease and the only treatment available was extremely expensive. He then went on to become a scrapper which is where he learned the ins and outs of every MS. This company led to him taking part in numerous… unsavoury activities but it got the job done. However, after numerous misadventures and the realisation that he is still not making the money he needs led him to become a pilot of Helios as he heard that they were rather accepting when it came to employing pilots. This was probably the only way the family would receive the money needed.
