The Father and Son Team
Aleks K
As unbelievable as it may sound, Aleks was formerly a professional historian with over 22 years of teaching experience. Since early childhood, Aleks was fascinated by rock music, learned to play the guitar at age of 10 and was especially interested in guitar pedals and effects.
Aleks has built his first pedal, as a hobby, in the early 70’s. Since then, he has been building guitar pedals for decades, selling or gifting them to friends and fellow musicians.
The pedals have started to become very popular among local musicians, with some claiming they were the best pedals they have ever tried. Hence, an idea was born to start building guitar effects pedals of the best quality profesionally.
Aleks’ son Nazar was also extremelly keen about his pedals and joined his dad to officially start a business. Thus, in 2012 Aleks K Production was born.
Aside from building the highest quality pedals, Aleks’ hobbies include: writing history texts (including books), writing music and lyrics, painting, cars and fast driving. Also, he claims he cooks the World’s best steaks :)
Nazar K
In addition to becoming a biologist and building a career as a laboratory manager at Capilano University in North Vancouver, Canada, Nazar is a multi-instrument musician, a gear-head, a guitar pedal fanatic, and the oldest son of his father, Aleks.
Growing up in a family of musicians, Nazar was taught from the very beginning to appreciate good quality music. In 2010, while building his new pedal-board with his father, Nazar has helped Aleks model a few homemade distortion pedals, just for fun.
After building a couple of pedals, impressing friends and local guitarists with the quality of the tone, an idea was born to start a pedal company where nothing but only top-quality parts would be used to create the best possible stomp-boxes.
Since 2012, Nazar has been a founding member of Aleks K Production and to this day works with his dad to create top quality, truly boutique pedals.
Besides playing music and modeling new pedals, Nazar’s hobbies include: fishing, crabbing, home wine-making, and occasionally cooking up new, never before tried food recipes.
