Alex Lahey is an LA based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and writer originally from Melbourne, Australia. Despite studying jazz saxophone at university, Alex hit her stride with her distinctive brand of infectious indie rock as showcased through two successful albums released on Dead Oceans in US/Europe and via her imprint Nicky Boy Records in Australia/NZ, where she’s been ARIA Gold certified, has charted in the ARIA Top 20, and has had multiple songs in the Triple J Hottest 100 over the last 5 years. An engaging collaborator, Alex has become a go-to writer and producer for artists looking to straddle the pop and alternative worlds, providing unique lyrics paired with accessible yet imaginative sonics. Her own songs have become a favorite across the film/tv and advertising landscape, with prominent placements in shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Ramy, The Bold Type and Supergirl, video games such as the relaunch of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, advertising campaigns for Lidl, and original composition for film including the theme song “On My Way” for the Oscar-nominated animated film The Mitchells vs. The Machines. Alex has also been working with Maggie Lindemann co-writing “Knife Under My Pillow” and “Crash and Burn”. Other recent collaborations include Jacknife Lee, Gordi, Christian Lee Hutson, Fran Healy (Travis), Isom Innis (Foster The People), Jenny Owen Youngs, Bradley Hale (Now Now), JT Daly, Ian Walsh, Sean Kennedy, George Alice, and numerous Australian-based artists.
