Ralph Alexander

Poppy

North Carolina native Ralph Alexander started playing the drums after listening to Led Zeppelin’s legendary live album “How the West Was Won.” His first cymbal was a 20" ZXT Ride his mom bought him for Christmas.

In 2010 Ralph won a full ride scholarship to the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood. After graduating he has lived in both Los Angeles and Nashville, touring and recording with a wide variety of artists. These include CRX (feat. Nick Valensi of The Strokes) and The Dose (an experimental two piece that featured Ralph performing both bass and drums simultaneously via a Moog Taurus III augmented to his kit).

Performance credits also include: Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden, MTV, Good Morning America, NXT (WWE) the Grammy’s with nominated artist, Poppy, and sitting in with the 8G band on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

Currently, Ralph is on the road with his main gig, Poppy.
