Bio

TV screenwriter, writer, comedy writing teacher, blues harmonica player, website developer, podcast producer, publicist… Alexandre Nix spends most of his life creating and developing media formats for TV and the web and, in the last decade, working with all iterations of Uncool Artist in the Americas.

From the valleys of San Fernando to the sandy beaches of Copacabana, Nix was born in Los Angeles and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he lived most of his life before coming back and settling in Brooklyn, NY.

As a musician, he played in the most prominent Brazilian cities, London, Paris, and New Orleans, where he lived from 2004-2005. After New Orleans, he was satisfied with his progress and stopped playing.

As an ad man, Nix worked for the first Brazilian internet ad/marketing company in 2007. By 2009, while living at the top of a mountain in Campos do Jordão and working online (before it was cool), he was invited to be a founding partner of a new firm in São Paulo. That didn’t pan out, and he decided to write for TV, hoping it would be a more morally acceptable way to get paid to create hyperboles and fantasies.

While creating and producing new and unique comedy-focus podcast formats and helping her partner, Carolina Paz, at Ateliê 2e1 (studios and education center for visual arts in São Paulo), Nix started to work for Brazilian TV production companies. He wrote scripts for CQC, Entubados, Fábrica de Casamentos, Batalha dos Cozinheiros and many reality and live TV shows because the pay was better. He also localized and wrote the premiere season of Dancing With The Stars in Brazil (Dancing Brasil) for BB before moving back to the U.S. in 2017.
In Brooklyn, Nix kept writing for the Brazilian TV market and small jobs for a few international clients (from Google to pan manufacturers in France). During the pandemic lockdown, he started a successful set of online courses on writing comedy for TV while developing podcast formats for Spotify. After that, he kept writing cooking shows, helping production companies in Brazil to develop TV show pilots, and working with Uncool Artist in various positions (like creating this platform you see right now, managing the Artist Residency Program, and other few things).
