Alex Carapetis was born in Adelaide, South Australia. He is a professional drummer, having been playing since the age of eleven. After studying jazz at the Adelaide Conservatorium for one year in 2000, he moved to Sydney in order to further his music career. In 2004 and 2005, Carapetis toured full-time with Jimmy Barnes in Australia and New Zealand. In July 2005, Alex toured with Delta Goodrem on Delta's Visualise Tour. Other artists with whom he has worked include Ian Moss, Diesel, Nathan Cavaleri, and Teenager (Nick Littlemore from PNAU).

In October 2005, Trent Reznor hired Carapetis to be the touring drummer for Nine Inch Nails due to incumbent drummer Jerome Dillon's health problems.
