In college, he shared a dorm room with Lee Sargent during their freshman year. They would both graduate in 2000. Lee, who had a special interest in Alecs songs, contacted him in 2004 via Friendster about starting a band. After several contacts, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was fully formed, and the band started playing live shows and recording demos.
