Alex Lyons

I’m Alex Lyons, I'm an 18 year old singer-songwriter from Teesside. I write raw-sounding acoustic folk/pop songs that I believe come from my soul. I am heavily influenced by 60/70s folk for example Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Don Mclean, and Nick Drake. I am also influenced by Adrianne Lenker, Maggie Roger and Billie Eilish.

I have been writing songs since I picked up a guitar when I was 13, I wrote a song as soon as I learned my first four chords.

It has always been a dream to write songs and have people listen and love them. Beautiful Melodies fall out me every day and it is so exciting to finally start giving them to you.

I started gigging and busking when I was 16, and since then I have supported and am supporting some amazing, talented artists such as Joe Hammill, from Cattle and Cane, Charlotte Carpenter, Dominie Hooper and Maria and James. I love to take every opportunity for my songs to heard.

I won the demo of the month for my song “Blinded to Love” in September 2023 and was proud to be played on BBC Introducing.

I will carry on learning, performing, and writing to become the best I can be, I hope you can come on this journey with me.

Thank you

Alex Lyons
