Alex Lahey is an Australian indie rock musician and songwriter hailing from Melbourne. She burst onto the music scene in 2016 with her catchy single "You Don't Think You Like People Like Me," which garnered critical acclaim and a robust following. Lahey's music is known for its sharp wit and relatable lyrics, underpinned by a driving pop-punk energy and hook-laden melodies. Her style blends the storytelling ethos of singer-songwriters with an unmistakable rock edge, proving her prowess within the alternative music sphere.

After releasing her debut EP, "B-Grade University," Lahey continued to build on her momentum with her first full-length album, "I Love You Like a Brother," in 2017. She's been praised for tackling themes like mental health, the complexities of relationships, and the highs and lows of young adulthood with authenticity and a self-deprecating humor. Her songs like "Every Day's the Weekend" and "Don't Be So Hard on Yourself" resonate with a generation dealing with the challenges of personal growth and self-acceptance. With a succession of respected releases, including her recent tracks "The Answer Is Always Yes," "Unspoken History," and her unique cover of "Make Your Own Kind of Music" for triple j's Like A Version, Lahey has cemented herself as not only an Australian talent to watch but an emerging global artist with a voice that speaks to a universal audience.
