Alex East

Alex has been DJing for over 25 years.  He started out, as so many do in hospital radio in his hometown of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.  After brief stints in Spain and again in the UK, he moved to the United States and was hired as drive-time host on a Spanish Radio Station.

After only a year on the air, audience figures increased more than tenfold.  He then took on a Saturday night dance show imaginatively called "Let's Dance" which again attracted a large audience.  He then decided to take his old Pub Quiz format and translate it to radio and so Eastie's Pub Quiz was born.

Rock 'n' Roll has always been his first love, so he decided to write a book called "The Encyclopedia of Rock 'n' Roll" which can be purchased from www.rocknrollencyclopedia.com . All the proceeds from the book go to the American Heart Foundation.  He decided that the book would make a great radio show, so "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" took the airwaves and was very well received around the world.  The show is aired on radio stations on 4 continents drawing fans from every corner of the world.

Alex is also the voice of arch villain Ian McClusky in the video game Subsurface.

Alex now lives in California with his wife and two sons.

  You can catch "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll"  Mondays at 3pm ET, and  an encore broadcast Thursdays at 7pm ET right here on Cruisin Oldies Radio!
