The Artist
I’m Alex Cousins.
I’m a cellist, composer, and performer reshaping what this instrument is allowed to be.
I was trained classically but I never stayed there. Now I play electric. I trust my bow more than the rules.
This is the cello, stripped back and set free.
Everything I do begins with the cello. It’s the center of my world, but I’ve never accepted its limits. Through pedals, tone design, and instinct, I’ve reimagined what the instrument can sound like and what it can say.
With Strings Unbound, I create immersive electric cello experiences that blend classical depth with modern energy. Beyond performing, I work with artists and creators to help them reconnect with themselves through teaching, mentorship, and coaching that focus on authenticity, flow, and emotional truth.
For me, it’s never just about performance. It’s about presence. It’s about sound that feels alive and the courage to mean every note.
