Alexander "Alex" Tumay (born July 19, 1986), is an American audio engineer and DJ from Atlanta, Georgia. Tumay is best known for recording and mixing songs for major artists across the American hip hop industry such as Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future, Kanye West, Drake and 21 Savage.
Alexander Tumay was born on July 19, 1986 in Queens, New York City, New York. He is of Armenian and Puerto Rican descent. He was raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for most of his teenage years. He learned to play piano and guitar growing up, as Tumay's father is a classical pianist, which influenced him to do so. He also listened to hip hop and heavy metal and wore a lot of FUBU clothing. He was in his high school band and in small garage bands.
Tumay couldn't find a major for college that he was satisfied with, and went through eight or nine majors total before he dropped out. He was later working at restaurant jobs. One of these restaurant jobs he worked as was a pizza delivery driver for Domino's Pizza. One of Tumay's friends introduced him to Logic Pro, a DAW program. He was interested in the program, but he couldn't figure out how to use it at the time, so one month later, he enrolled in Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida to study audio engineering. Tumay graduated from the Full Sail in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Recording Arts, and then scored an internship at Maze Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, where he later relocated to, and worked frequently with another record producer "Benjamin "Ben" H. Allen III", who taught Tumay more about recording and mixing for an additional three years, also assisting Allen II on projects for the experimental pop band Animal Collective and experimental musician Youth Lagoon, before fully going into working in the hip hop genre.
