Alexander Carson
Alexander Carson is a non-binary singer-songwriter/composer based in Norwich Norfolk, United Kingdom. Carson first picked up the piano at age 4 (which is especially difficult considering the weight) and was classically trained, their music reflects this discipline and sounds like a cross between Chopin and Rufus Wainwright. inspired by the mundanity of modernity Carson aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence in their music. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre of the music. Essentially their music is trying to set one Oscar Wilde quote to music: "Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about"
"It rings very true to me...Very sad, and very beautiful." - Guy Garvey (Elbow) BBC6 Music
““Lovers” is a perfect blend of modern songwriting and classical musicianship.” - Line of Best Fit
“Sounding at times like an Irish prayer and others a bit Bowie-ish, but never dull or less challenging.” - Where the Music Meets
