Alexander Duszat, a talented individual, was born in the vibrant city of Berlin, but his formative years and educational pursuits took place in Hamburg, where he developed a strong foundation for his future endeavors. He eventually found himself employed as a television and radio technician for Hamburg 1, a local television channel, where he initially gained recognition under the nickname "Elton", a moniker bestowed upon him due to his uncanny resemblance to the legendary musician Elton John.
In February 2001, Duszat's career trajectory took a dramatic turn when he became the show intern on the popular German entertainment program "Tv Total" (1999),hosted by the renowned entertainer Stefan Raab. This experience served as a springboard for his subsequent hosting duties, as he went on to launch his own show, "Elton.tv", in December 2001. Unfortunately, the show's run came to an abrupt end in March 2003, marking a significant turning point in Duszat's professional journey.
