Flex Aleo is a Canadian, Nigerian and South African Executive Producer, Actor, Wine Consultant & Wine Educator.
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 a role in a TV series “Star Trek Discovery”. He is also the founder of Marvonnay Studios, a production company dedicated to telling stories that encapsulate the essence of culture. Founded in 2024, the Marvonnay Studios development slate currently includes a business TV drama series and two wine documentaries.
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.".
