Alice Merton is a German-Canadian-English singer and songwriter, born on September 13, 1993, in Frankfurt, Germany, who burst onto the international music scene with her catchy pop-rock single "No Roots" in 2016. Merton's multicultural background is a cornerstone of her identity, having moved frequently during her childhood and adolescence, which inspired her breakthrough track's theme of not having a fixed place to call home. Alice's music is often characterized by its high-energy melodies, distinctive vocals, and introspective lyrics that reflect on her personal experiences and emotional journey.

After the success of "No Roots," Merton worked on solidifying her place in the music world with the release of her debut album, "Mint," in January 2019. The album was well-received and showcased her ability to craft infectious pop tunes with depth. Since then, she has continued to garner acclaim with several singles and a deluxe version of her album, "MINT +4." Tracks like "Vertigo," "Learn To Live," and "Funny Business" display her lyrical prowess and the dynamic nature of her sound that resonates with a broad audience. Merton is not only revered for her studio recordings but also for her impressive live performances, as exemplified by her collaboration with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony for "Live in Frankfurt." Her most recent work includes evocative songs such as "Charlie Brown" and "Waste My Life," further showcasing her growth as an artist and her unwavering commitment to authenticity in her music.
