Born in Britain, raised by Jordanian and Australian parents, Antix is truly a global sensation. Very much influenced by his diverse upbringing in France, England and America, Antix, aka Alex Nimier, set out to create music that inspires the masses, regardless of national identity or race. As a child, he was taught to absorb creative inspiration from as many musical styles as possible; developing a love for all types ranging from jazz, classical to hip hop. His father, an academic and author, imparted to Alex the ability to always question authority and the political/social agenda of the time. His mother, an actress, imbued him with the desire to be a performer and touch people with his creativity.
These elements, when fused with hip-hop, shaped a style that is truly groundbreaking. But it was the untimely loss of his mother to cancer that set Alex on this musical journey. During this difficult period, he sought to discover his creative voice and to craft an album (Flammable Grammar), which would fuse together the most intense aspects of Alex’s personal life with his message of individuality, love and pragmatism. The unique sound of Antix was born, with cross-genre and world music influences.
