About Alex Spencer
Alex Spencer is an 18-year-old artist known for his sharp songwriting, magnetic energy, and vibrant stage presence. After an apprenticeship busking in his native Manchester, he’s since gained support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Radio X, CLASH Magazine, and featured globally on the EA SPORTS FC25 soundtrack with his single Nightmares.
His latest and third, independent EP – ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ explores the urgency of youth, blending personal and cultural influences from many travel adventures and the occasional lyrical use of Spanish as a nod to his second language to also explore wider themes. The release has earned praise from tastemakers including John Kennedy at Radio X, and Jodie Bryant and Mollie King at Radio 1.
On stage with his band, Alex brings to life his own powerful and charismatic brand of indie-pop. He has been billed on major festivals like TRNSMT and Sound City throughout the year, and has supported artists such as The Black Keys, Miles Kane, Jamie Webster, The K’s and Seb Lowe. In 2025, Alex sold out his debut headline show at Manchester’s 500 cap Gorilla, further building his hometown audience.
