Alex Depue began taking classical violin lessons at age five. He won his first major competition at age 10, and later (age 16) won a competition that entitled him to perform at Carnegie Hall with the National Guild Youth Orchestra under the direction of Joseph Silverstein. He has continued to win competitions and appear as a guest soloist with orchestra and at festivals worldwide.

Despite his classical training, Alex became interested in fiddling at age seven and began competing in old-time fiddle contests at the age of 12. He has been ranked among the top 10 fiddlers int he nation at the Grand Masters Fiddling Championship (Nashville, TN). In 2005, Alex placed fourth at the GMFC. Alex served as a judge at the National Oldtime Fiddling Championship (Weiser, ID) in 2008. Alex toured with Capitol Recording artist Chris Cagle from 2000-2006, with whom he regularly appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Television, Great American Country and VH1 Country. Alex joined legendary rock guitarist Steve Vai for a 2007 world tour that took him across North America, South America and Europe. Alex's YouTube videos are from all parts of the globe and his #1 YouTube hit, "Owner of a Lonely Heart," (originally recorded by the 80's rock band Yes) has been viewed worldwide over a million times.
