Indie singer songwriter producer from Santa Monica, California
Alex Siegel makes honest music. Influenced by jazz, folk, pop, and hip-hop, the 28 year old musician / producer creates resonant songs that tap his eclectic inspirations to take listeners on a journey somewhere warm, beautiful and new. Drawing on the international currents of his native LA, as well as his own travels, his music tells the story of a deeply feeling person navigating the changes, both global and personal.
Alex spent the last year working in music studios in LA and performing with various touring bands as a keyboardist and drummer. Last fall, he co-wrote indie soul band Amo Amo’s debut album, produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. Sometime during the sessions, a Canadian producer named Tyler Neil Johnson heard Alex’s song “Good Leg” and reached out. They hit it off and Alex felt called to go to Vancouver to record a new solo EP with Tyler. Combining elements of
60’s pop with the warm low end of hip-hop and the climactic builds of EDM, Alex’s songs are powerful and familiar, yet something altogether new. Neither Alex nor Tyler could have predicted what a creative success their collaboration would be…
Alex plays all the instruments on his tracks, in addition to writing and singing the songs. Formerly of the musical project Waterstrider, Alex now releases music and performs under his given name, as well as with other projects such as Amo Amo. Some of his current favorite artists are Chilly Gonzales, Tame Impala, Kings of Convenience and Phoenix.
