Ad Astra, known to her friends as Alex, was born and bred in northwest England but has been resident in Malmö, Sweden since 2018. Classically trained in music, she has been scribbling out melodies for as long as she has been able to write. When she fell in love with trance in late 2014, it wasn't long until she got herself a copy of Ableton and started teaching herself to recreate the sounds which were the soundtrack to magical nights in London, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and beyond.
