Rex started his musical career as a punk member of the popular band Kong. Fired unjustly by their tyrannical frontman Ed Keane for a mixup regarding plane tickets, Rex started up as a solo artist and founder member of Kaiser Chef.
Since then the Chefs have had many changes of lineup, briefly being a duo with John Commander and eventually becoming a 6-piece.
The Chefs played their first Awesome concert at a Berlin Rock & Roll Competition on 16 July 2006.
Rex has an ongoing friendly hate-hate relationship with Jessica Oskarsson and several other rich global business owners.
