About

Alex Fisherman

Filmmaker · Musician

Where it started

A cassette, a guitar and no idea what a chord was.

Fisherman’s relationship with music began at school. After a trip to England, curiosity led him to open and listen to a cassette a friend had asked him to bring home. Soon afterwards he borrowed money from his mother to buy his first electric guitar.

His first bands were Sepharad and Garbanz. Those years introduced him to Barcelona’s rock venues and to Desorden Juanra, who would later help him launch his solo work.

Bands and family

Garbanz, Mahoney and the joy of playing live.

After a few years away from bands, he joined Mahoney as a bass player. The group played electric and acoustic concerts, recorded two demos and became the musical family he remembers with the greatest affection.

A road trip through the western United States then inspired his first solo record, The Train Is Moving so Fast. He later released No hay Mal que por Bien no Venga and expanded his work into filmmaking.

Film and music are two ways of telling the same story: people, places and the need to keep moving.
