Alex Romano was born in Haarlem,The Netherlands. At the age of fourteen he discovered he had a thing for discomusic. Some of his favourite producers/remixers of this period were Shep Pettibone, Larry Levan, Patrick Adams and Francois Kevorkian. At the end of the eighties he grew an interest for house music. By this time he also started Djing at several house parties.
In 1991 Alex met his, now best friend, Olav Basoski with whom he produced his first releases and co-produced several tracks for Olav's Samplitude series. After a few years of keeping a low profile and refueling himself he came back in 1999 to produce several releases as Johnny King (and under some other names) on different record labels. As you will be able to hear, Alex never lost his passion for Disco.
In 2003 Alex Romano produced the first release on Rootz Records, 'Penetration'. When his bootleg of Nu Rhythmix's Babylon got bigger than life in local clubs around Amsterdam, Grant Nelson himself decided to pick the track up to re-release it on his imprint Swing City. 2005 started off great, with remixes for Roger Sanchez's label Stealth and new releases on Rootz Records.
