Biography

He is the son of a Greek mother and a Serbian émigré father who left the war-torn Yugoslavia before Tito's communists took over. He was educated in Windsor where he graduated from University of Windsor in 1975 and continued studying with Ervin Monroe, a distinguished first flutist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Throughout the 1980s, continuing to live in Windsor with his wife, Lorraine, and son, Alex Jr., Zonjic performed regularly in Detroit-area clubs such as Baker's Keyboard Lounge, Alexanders, and Murdock's. He currently lives in Detroit, Michigan.
