Alex Chu (born September 2, 1979), known simply as Alex (알렉스), is a Korean-Canadian singer. He is the male vocalist of the acid jazz and electronica band Clazziquai.

Biography

Alex and his family immigrated to Canada when he was young. His family, consisting of his mother, older brother and sister, now live in Vancouver. His sister, Christina, is the unofficial fourth member of Clazziquai. She sings on their albums, but does not make live appearances with the rest of the band. Alex rose to fame in South Korea as part of the group Clazziquai. The group became famous for its work on the hit Korean drama My Lovely Samsoon.

In 2008, the group announced a temporary hiatus, and its members debuted as solo artists, including Chu, although the group will be performing at a Korean rock music festival in July 2008 that also features Marilyn Manson.

Chu became part of MBC reality show We Got Married (우리 결혼했어요) and was matched with Korean trot singer Jang Yoon Jeong in the Lunar Special episode, and actress/model Shin Ae for the rest of the series. The show also stars Crown J, Andy of Shinhwa, Seo In Young of Jewelry, Solbi of Typhoon, Saori and Jung Hyung Don. Alex and Shin Ae left the show after Episode 8 for Alex to record his first solo album Vintage Romance. They were replaced by Kim Hyun Joong of SS501 and Hwangbo of Chakra. However, due to popular demand, the couple reunited in Episode 13.

Alex and Shin Ae made their official exit from the show on November 16, 2008.
