His collaborations extend to several albums and artists, including the Cuarteto de los Reyes. Alejo's global performances have garnered acclaim, particularly in a 2016 Geneva concert.

Alongside performing, Alejo teaches guitar, runs a music-themed blog, hosts the interview program "La Posta," and explores film and composition projects. His work "Mariposa del aire" with artist Isol, honoring Federico García Lorca's poems, is a highlight of his compositional achievements.
