Flex Aleo is a Canadian, Nigerian and South African Founder, Wine Educator, Actor and Producer.
Born and raised near Johannesburg - South Africa, Flex has always been curious about culture and digital media. In 2008 Flex stepped on a one-way flight to Toronto to pursue his education and has been forging his dreams ever since.
In 2014, Flex was inspired by the lyric: "This was all inspired by a little Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay". A vision appeared to him where music and wine intertwined to create a life-changing conversation. He then founded Marvonnay, a sophistication club to create world peace through sophistication. He's also becoming a wine expert in the process but that's a story for another day.
Flex was the kid behind the family VHS camera making home movies and finally decided to give acting a shot in 2019. Since then he has appeared in various TV shows, films and advertisements. His career highlight was the lead role in a TV series titled “Fear Thy Roommate”, A spin-off of “Fear Thy Neighbor”. The episode aired across the US & Canada on the Investigation Discovery Channel. He has also appeared in national TV commercials such as Mary Browns and print commercials such as Canadian Tire.
He hopes to one day make a speech on a world stage and utter the words: “It’s not where you start or where you finish, it’s about the journey in between. That’s where life happens. Live your life like a movie and be your own star every day.".
