Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.

Since 2007 NASP is a OMA (OneManArmy) a solo project entirely made by me Alexandre Santos born and raised @ Porto in Portugal.
That said, here´s a little global description for my sound:
"The world created by Not a Side Project is a mix of dark and light, war and peace, high peaks and fluid valleys, where silences become loud and the blend of guitar and drums carries the listener in a sublime trip through ominous atmospheres."
So...

I was born in Athens, and grew up in Santorini. I am currently a graduate student at the Graduate Program of Clinical Psychology (MSc) at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. I have studied Psychology (BA) at the same university, and in December 2017 I graduated as a valedictorian, getting an honors degree. For having the best score at the Panhellenic Examinations, in my Department, I was granted a full scholarship by the Hellenic American Union, in order to study Music Theory and Composition at the Hellenic American College, with prof. Theodore Antoniou. I also studied piano performance at the National Conservatory of Athens, with prof. Savvas Zafeiropoulos. I graduated last January, gaining the Piano Diploma (Unanimously “Excellent” and 1st Prize). I am academically interested in Freudian and structural (Lacanian) psychoanalysis. In specific, I am interested in the interference of the unconscious and desire in musical performance and creation, and in the depiction of various psychoanalytic principles via the music symbolic. I have taken part in academic lectures with speeches regarding the Oedipus complex and the problematics of the unconscious desire and “jouissance” in the works of Sergei Rachmaninoff and in “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky.For my academic achievements, I have been honored with the “Pantia Ralli Scholarship” by the University of Athens and with the “President’s Award for Academic Achievement” by the Hellenic American College. 
I am simultaneously a Lacanian Psychoanalysis trainee at the Athenian Forum of the School of the Lacanian Field (IF-EPFCL).
