In addition to her solo work, Lahey has a reputation as a sought after collaborator, and has co-written and produced for artists including Maggie Lindemann, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Christian Lee Hutson, The Buoys, Gordi and more.

Early life

Alex Lahey was born in 1992 and grew up in Albert Park, [2] a suburb of Melbourne, where she lived with her parents and younger brother, Will. [3] At 13-years-old, she started taking saxophone lessons while teaching herself guitar. [4] Following high school, she started university courses in both music and arts but dropped out of the music component to join local group, Animaux, on vocals and saxophone. [4] After completing her arts degree Lahey decided to start a solo music career. [4]

Career

2016-2018: B-Grade University and I Love You Like A Brother

Lahey's song "You Don't Think You Like People Like Me" received Pitchfork's Best New Track Award, [4] [5] and it was voted into the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2016 at No. 97. [6] Lahey subsequently won a Triple J Unearthed prize, leading to a performance slot at Splendour in the Grass and a nomination for a J Award as Unearthed Artist of the Year.

In June 2016, Lahey won the Josh Pyke Partnership, for unsigned artists, which is co-sponsored by Pyke, Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) and Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS). [5] She received a AUD$7500 grant, a song writing mentorship from Pyke and introduction to music industry officials. [5] Lahey won the prize ahead of 200 entries and Pyke explained, "the song she submitted was immediately stuck in my head, and her lyrics were compelling and clever. Her turn of phrase was quirky and intelligent, and really relatable... I reckon most of us have been in the situation that's portrayed in the song 'You Don’t Think You Like People Like Me'." [5]

Lahey's debut extended play (EP), B-Grade University, was released on 29 July 2016, via Caroline Australia Records with distribution by Universal Music Australia. [7] It reached No. 95 on the ARIA Top 100 Physical Albums and No. 8 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums charts. [8]

In January 2017 Lahey signed to Dead Oceans, which re-released her EP. [9] On 6 October 2017 she issued her debut album, I Love You Like a Brother , through her own independent label, Nicky Boy Records/Dead Oceans via Caroline Australia/Universal Music Australia. [10] [11] Laura Stanley of Under the Radar observed, "[she] shares scenes from her own period of self-discovery, which makes for a fierce and incredibly fun debut full-length... the record standouts happen when Lahey and her bandmates zoom through spells of heartache with candidness and in a sharp pop-punk style." [12]

I Love You Like a Brother was placed on several albums-of-the-year lists, including Bandcamp Daily (at No. 40), [13] Noisey , [14] the Sydney Morning Herald , [15] Under the Radar , BrooklynVegan , and redbull.com. [16] Spin Magazine would also cite the album as one of the magazine's 13 "Favorite Overlooked Albums of 2017". [17] After touring Australia through October 2017, Lahey undertook an international tour of US and Europe from December 2017 and April 2018. [18] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2018 she was nominated for Breakthrough Artist – Release. [19]

2019-present: The Best of Luck Club and The Answer Is Always Yes

In May 2019, Lahey released her second album The Best of Luck Club . The album was produced by Catherine Marks along with Lahey. Lahey spent all of 2019 touring Australia, North America, Europe and the UK and had extensive touring plans for 2020 before they were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The song "Misery Guts" from the album was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. [20]

In 2020, Lahey wrote and recorded the original song "On My Way" for Sony Pictures Animation's The Mitchells vs. the Machines , now Netflix’s biggest original animated release of all time. [21] The song was also released on the official film soundtrack via Sony Classical.[ citation needed ]

On 21 October 2021, Lahey revealed she had signed with Liberation Records and released "Spike the Punch". [22]

On 31 August 2022, Lahey released single "Congratulations" and announced national tour, commencing in October 2022. It will be her first since 2019. [23] Her third studio album, The Answer Is Always Yes , was released on 19 May 2023.

Personal life

Lahey identifies as gay. [24] Her partner is fellow Australian musician Gordi. The two released a collaboration, "Dino's", in early 2021. [25]

Lahey is an avid supporter of the St Kilda Football Club [26] and performed at the club's 150th anniversary game at the MCG in 2023. [27]
