Turner grew up in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. He is an only child. [1] His parents, Penny and David Turner, both worked at local secondary schools; his mother was a German teacher while his father taught physics and music. [2] Turner took piano lessons until the age of eight [3] [4] [5] and was exposed to "all sorts" of music at home, [6] including records by Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, [7] The Beach Boys, David Bowie and The Eagles. [4] [6] [8] [9] His father was a "jazz-head", [10] had been a member of big bands, and played the saxophone, clarinet and piano. [6] [11]

Frank Sinatra American singer, actor, and producer

Francis Albert Sinatra was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Turner was educated at Stocksbridge High School (1997–2002). [12] While not a voracious reader, [13] Turner enjoyed English lessons and found his teacher, Simon Baker, "encouraging". [10] [14] Baker later remembered Turner as a clever pupil who was "quite reserved ... a little bit different." [15] He noted that Turner had an "incredibly laid-back", "lackadaisical" approach to school work, which worried his mother. [15] [16] Turner then spent two years at Barnsley College (2002–2004), [17] where he studied for A-levels in music technology and media studies, and AS-levels in English, photography and psychology. [18] In his final year of college, Turner "half-heartedly" filled out university application forms and hoped to study in Manchester. [6] [19] However, his parents allowed him to defer university for one year to pursue his musical ambitions. [6]

Obtaining an A Level, or equivalent qualifications, is generally required for university entrance, with universities granting offers based on grades achieved.

Turner and Matt Helders became friends at the age of seven; [20] [21] [22] they were neighbours and attended the same primary school. [23] [24] They met Andy Nicholson at secondary school [25] and the three friends bonded over their shared enjoyment of hip-hop artists such as Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, Cypress Hill and Roots Manuva. [8] [26] [27] They spent their weekends "making crap hip-hop" beats using Turner's father's Cubase system. [6] [28] Following the breakthrough of The Strokes in 2001, Turner and his friends were drawn to guitar bands including The Hives and The White Stripes. [5] That Christmas, when Turner was 15, [9] his parents bought him a guitar. [29] [30] He and Helders attended their first gig in 2002, watching The Vines in Manchester. [31] [32] In 2003, at the age of seventeen, he travelled to London with Helders and Nicholson to watch The Strokes play at Alexandra Palace; they met Pete Doherty of The Libertines in the audience.

Musical career

Formation of Arctic Monkeys (2002–2004)

Many of Turner's friends, including Milburn, were in local bands and, in mid-2002, Turner, Helders, Nicholson and another friend, Jamie Cook, decided to form their own. [34] At first, the band's original songs featured nonsense words [34] [35] but Turner gradually began to share his own lyrics with his bandmates. [36] He became the frontman after a number of schoolmates tried out. [30] [34] [36] Before playing a live show, the band rehearsed for a year in both Turner and Helders' garages and, later, at an unused warehouse in Wath. [37] According to Helders' mother, who drove the teenagers to and from their rehearsal space three times a week: "If they knew you were there, they would just stop so we had to sneak in." [23] [8] Their first gig was on Friday, 13 June 2003, supporting The Sound at a local pub called The Grapes. [38] The set, which was partly recorded, [39] comprised both original songs and cover versions (including "Hotel Yorba" by The White Stripes, "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones, "I'm Only Sleeping" by The Beatles, "The Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim and "Harmonic Generator" by The Datsuns). [40] [41]

Milburn (band) band

Milburn are an indie rock band from Sheffield, England that consist of Joe Carnall, Louis Carnall, Tom Rowley, and Joe Green. They announced they would split on 28 March 2008, with the band playing their final gig at Sheffield's Carling Academy on 24 May 2008, though they have since reformed.

Jamie Cook guitarist for Arctic Monkeys

Jamie Robert Cook is an English guitarist and songwriter. He is best known as the rhythm guitarist and a founding member of the indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, with whom he has recorded six studio albums.

In the summer of 2003, Turner also played seven gigs in York and Liverpool as a rhythm guitarist and bongo player for the funk band Judan Suki, after meeting the lead singer Jon McClure on a bus. [42] [43] [44] In August 2003, Turner recorded a demo with Judan Suki at Sheffield's 2fly Studios and asked Alan Smyth if he would produce an Arctic Monkeys demo. Smyth obliged and "thought they definitely had something special going on. I told Alex off for singing in an American voice at that first session." [45] [46] [47] [48] Smyth introduced the band to Geoff Barradale, who became their manager after their third gig. Barradale and Ian McAndrew, the band's co-managers, paid for the band to record numberous three-song demos from late August 2003 to November 2004. [49] Barradale drove the band around live venues in the north of England to establish their reputation, handing out copies of the demo CDs after each show. [50] Fans began sharing the unofficial Beneath the Boardwalk demo compilation online through message-boards and MySpace and, by the end of 2004, audiences knew the words to the songs. [45] [51]

Liverpool is a city in North West England, with an estimated population of 491,500 in 2017. Its metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the UK, with a population of 2.24 million in 2011. The local authority is Liverpool City Council, the most populous local government district in the metropolitan county of Merseyside and the largest in the Liverpool City Region.

Jon McClure, known as The Reverend, is an English musician. He is the lead singer and frontman of Reverend and The Makers, and ex-vocalist of 1984 and Judan Suki. He says that the name "Reverend" became his moniker because "I'm a big mouth and always running on at people".

Alan Smyth is a music producer from Sheffield, England. He has worked with a number of bands, including Pulp, Arctic Monkeys, Reverend and The Makers, The Long Blondes, Milburn, Richard Hawley, The Fever Club, The Scaramanga Six, Smokers Die Younger, Monkey Swallows the Universe, The Lodger, Little Man Tate, 65daysofstatic, Little Lost David, Albany, Dead Like Harry, The Silverfish, The Magi, Dead World Leaders, Little Ze, Jack's Attic, Smiling Ivy, Pink Sharabang and The Hurriers. He works from his own studio in the city, 2fly Studios.

After finishing college in mid-2004, Turner began working as a bartender at the Sheffield music venue The Boardwalk. There, he met well-known musicians including Richard Hawley. [52] [53] On 2 December 2004, [54] Turner was working when John Cooper Clarke appeared on stage as the opening act for The Fall. [37] The performance made a big impression on the eighteen-year-old: "He's talking 100 miles an hour, and he's really funny ... It just blew my mind." [55] After the show, Turner and his bandmates met the poet, who advised them to keep their unusual name [10] and recalled in 2011 that they were "shy kids, you know, looking at their feet, and shuffling about ... really sweet, sweet kids." [56] [57] Turner has described Clarke as his "hero", [58] and was inspired by his use of a regional accent. [58] [59] The early Arctic Monkeys song "From the Ritz to the Rubble" was a homage to Clarke's style ("my best shot at it, at least"). [58]

Rise to fame (2005–2007)

By 2005, Arctic Monkeys were coming to national attention. They received their first mention in a national newspaper in April, with a Daily Star reporter describing them as "the most exciting band to emerge this year". [60] They self-released an EP, featuring the single "Fake Tales of San Francisco", in May [61] [62] and began their first nationwide tour soon afterwards. [63] Turner began dating London-based student Johanna Bennett. [64] In June, in the midst of a bidding war, Arctic Monkeys signed to the independent label Domino Records and began recording an album with producer Jim Abbiss. [65] In October, the single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart. [66]

The album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not , was released in January 2006. [67] Turner's lyrics, chronicling teenage nightlife in Sheffield, were widely praised and, initially, there was even media speculation that the 20-year-old frontman, "inarticulate in interviews", had help from an anonymous co-writer. [68] [69] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times remarked: "Mr. Turner's lyrics are worth waiting for and often worth memorizing, too ... He has an uncanny way of evoking Northern English youth culture while neither romanticizing it nor sneering at it." [70] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian said he was "equipped with a brave, unflinching eye for detail [and] a spring-loaded wit." [71]

The album, the fastest-selling debut in British music history, quickly became a cultural phenomenon. [72] The band responded by turning down many promotional opportunities [73] and quickly releasing new material - a five-track EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? in April, and a stand-alone single, "Leave Before the Lights Come On", in August. According to the producer James Ford, who later became a close Turner collaborator, the band developed a "gang" mentality and were "closed to all outsiders" during this period. That summer, the band made the decision to permanently replace Nicholson, who had taken a touring break due to "fatigue", with Nick O'Malley, another childhood friend. [74] As of 2015, Turner and Nicholson remain "close friends". [75] [76]

Arctic Monkeys' second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare , was released in April 2007. Lyrically, it touches on fame, love, and heartache. [77] Turner and Bennett had ended their two-year relationship in January; she was credited as a co-writer on "Fluorescent Adolescent". [78] [79] While uninterested in the songs about fame, Marc Hogan of Pitchfork said the album displayed Turner's "usual gift for vivid imagery" and explored "new emotional depth". [80] Petridis of The Guardian also found the album's initial references to fame "wearying" but was won over by the "tenderness and warmth" of the songs depicting relationships: "That stuff this mature and thoughtful was written by someone barely 21 years old genuinely gives you pause for thought." [81] As part of their tour in support of the album, Arctic Monkeys headlined Glastonbury Festival [82] and organised a mini-festival at Old Trafford Cricket Ground for 50,000 fans; support came from Amy Winehouse, Supergrass and The Coral. [83]

Turner began to collaborate with other artists in 2007. He worked with rapper Dizzee Rascal on the song "Temptation", an Arctic Monkeys B-side which also featured on Rascal's album Maths and English . He co-wrote three songs on the Reverend and the Makers' debut album The State Of Things , after briefly sharing a Sheffield flat with the frontman Jon McClure. [84] Another Sheffield singer, Richard Hawley, featured on the Arctic Monkeys' B-side "Bad Woman" and performed with the band at the Manchester Apollo, as part of a concert film directed by Richard Ayoade. [85] Turner also announced plans to form a side-project band, The Last Shadow Puppets, with Miles Kane, whom he had befriended in mid-2005, [86] and James Ford. [87]

Musical experimentation (2008–2011)

The Last Shadow Puppets' debut album, The Age of the Understatement , was released in April 2008, shortly after Turner had moved from Sheffield to east London. [88] [89] The orchestral pop record was inspired by Scott Walker and featured string arrangements by Owen Pallett. Alexa Chung, dating Turner since mid-2007, [90] featured in the Ayoade-directed music video for "My Mistakes Were Made For You". Hogan of Pitchfork said the album "finds Turner moving from his anthropologically detailed Arctics brushstrokes to bold, cinematic gestures." [91] Petridis of The Guardian noted that "the lyrics move away from his usual witty-but-prosaic observations into more opaque invention, without sacrificing sharpness." [92] The Last Shadow Puppets toured the album with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. [93] Turner recorded a spoken word track "A Choice of Three" for his bandmate's compilation album Late Night Tales: Matt Helders . [94]

Turner has described Arctic Monkeys' third album, Humbug , released in August 2009, as "a massive turning point" in the band's career. [95] They travelled to Joshua Tree, California to work with producer Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and explored a heavier sound. [96] While Petridis of The Guardian found some lyrics "too oblique to connect", he was impressed by the band's "desire to progress". He described "Cornerstone" as a "dazzling display of what Turner can do: a fabulously witty, poignant evocation of lost love." [97] Joe Tangari of Pitchfork felt the album was a "legitimate expansion of the band's songwriting arsenal" and described "Cornerstone", with "clever turns of phrase and his usual flair with detail", as the highlight: "The song is beyond lovelorn, with Turner delivering a swooning, dreamy vocal." [98] As part of the Humbug tour, Arctic Monkeys headlined Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Turner and Chung moved from London to Brooklyn in the spring of 2009. [99] While there, he began working on an acoustic soundtrack for the coming-of-age feature film Submarine (2010). [100] His friend, director Richard Ayoade, initially approached him to record cover versions for the project. [101] Instead, he recorded six original acoustic songs with James Ford and Bill Ryder-Jones. [102] [103] The Submarine EP was released in early 2011. [104] Paul Thompson of Pitchfork said "Turner's keen wit and eye for detail coalesces into a tender portrayal of that resolute adolescent uncertainty." [105] Turner also co-wrote six songs on Miles Kane's first solo album Colour of the Trap (2011) and co-wrote his standalone single "First of My Kind" (2012) . [106] .

Arctic Monkeys' fourth album, Suck It and See , was recorded in Los Angeles and released in June 2011. Marc Hogan of Pitchfork enjoyed the album's "chiming indie pop balladry" and "muscular glam-rock". Lyrically, he noted that, while Turner was keeping his cards "close to the chest", "hardly a verse goes by without an instant quotable or two." [107] Petridis of The Guardian remarked that Turner's new lyrical style of "dense, Dylanesque wordplay is tough to get right. More often than not, he pulls it off. There are beautifully turned phrases and piercing observation." [108] Richard Hawley featured on a B-side, "You and I". That summer, while Turner ended his four-year relationship with Chung, [109] Arctic Monkeys performed two homecoming performances at Sheffield's Don Valley Bowl.

Success in the USA (2012–2017)

With Turner now based in Los Angeles, [110] Arctic Monkeys toured the USA as the support act for The Black Keys in early 2012. While they had previously opened for Oasis and Queens of the Stone Age at one-off shows, it was the band's first time to tour as a supporting act. [111] They released "R U Mine?" as a standalone single in preparation for the tour, with Turner's new girlfriend, Arielle Vandenberg, appearing in the music video. Later that year, Arctic Monkeys performed "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and a cover of "Come Together" by The Beatles at the Danny Boyle-directed 2012 London Summer Olympics opening ceremony. In early 2013, Turner provided backing vocals for the song "If I Had a Tail" from Queens of the Stone Age's ...Like Clockwork album [112] and played bass guitar on "Get Right", a Miles Kane B-side. [113]

AM was released in September 2013. [114] [115] Turner set a Cooper Clarke poem "I Wanna Be Yours" to music for the final track. (Turner was featured in Mojo in early 2007 and asked to interview Cooper Clarke; [10] Cooper Clarke's poem "Out Of Control Fairground" appeared on the inside cover of the Arctic Monkeys' "Fluorescent Adolescent" single.) [116] . [117] Simon Harper of Clash magazine states, "Welding inspiration from hip-hop greats with rock's titans, 'AM' is built upon portentous beats that are dark and intimidating, yet wickedly thrilling." Tim Jonze of The Guardian noted that the album "manages to connect those different directions – the muscular riffs of Humbug and the wistful pop of Suck It and See – with the bristling energy and sense of fun that propelled their initial recordings."

Turner spent much of 2014 touring AM. He and Vandenberg ended their two-year relationship early that year. While Turner had started to become a more extroverted frontman in 2011 [118] , by 2014, Q magazine noted that, where Turner once resembled a "schoolboy being made to read out announcements in front of morning assembly, he now confidently strides around the stage, combs his greaser hair at specific intervals and addresses the crowd clearly and concisely." [119] Turner contended that he has always performed in some way: "You can’t get up onstage in front of any amount of people without putting on an act. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do it." [120] [121]

Turner began dating American model Taylor Bagley in early 2015. [122] The Last Shadow Puppets released their second album, Everything You've Come to Expect , on 1 April 2016. Turner, Kane and Ford were joined by Zach Dawes of Mini Mansions, with whom Turner had collaborated on the song "Vertigo" in 2015. [123] Laura Snapes of Pitchfork detected an air of "misanthropy" in the album. However, she acknowledged that Turner was "no less a gifted lyricist than ever" and described some songs as "totally gorgeous ... the structures fluid and surprising". [124] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian enjoyed Turner’s "characteristically sparkling use of language" and "melodic skill". However, he felt the pair's "in-joking" during interviews and Kane's "leery" encounter with a female Spin journalist cast "an uncomfortable pall" over the album. [125] From March until August 2016, they toured in Europe and North America. [126] In December 2016, they released "The Dream Synopsis", an EP which included covers of "Les Cactus" by Jacques Dutronc and "Is This What You Wanted" by Leonard Cohen.

Alexandra Savior's debut album, Belladonna of Sadness , co-written and co-produced by Turner, was released in April 2017. Columbia Records approached Turner about working with the then-unknown artist in 2014, and they wrote the album over an eighteen-month period in between Turner's touring commitments. Turner and James Ford co-produced the album in 2015, before work began on Everything You've Come to Expect. [127] Savior described the process as "pretty collaborative": "Alex has a really good work ethic ... He's much more organised [than me]." [128] [129] In reviewing the album, Hilary Hughes of Pitchfork remarked: "Turner’s musical ticks are so distinct that they’re instantly recognizable when someone else tries to dress them up as their own." [130] Turner made a one-off stage appearance with Savior in 2016 and she supported The Last Shadow Puppets on their US tour. [131] Savior later said the press attention surrounding Turner's involvement was overwhelming: "I'm so grateful for him, but I'm also like, 'Alright, alright!'" [132]

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018)

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino , Arctic Monkeys' sixth album, was released on 11 May 2018. [133] After receiving a Steinway Vertegrand piano as a 30th birthday present from his manager, Turner wrote the space-themed album from the perspective of "a lounge-y character". [134] [135] Having written "the most straight-up love letters" of his career on Everything You've Come to Expect, he felt ready to explore wider themes. [136] He recorded demos at home, and shared them with Cook in early 2017. Cook was initially taken-aback by the change in direction: "It took a few listens to even begin to, like… But I don’t think any of us wanted to make an AM, Part Two, so I were very, very excited by what he’d come up with." [137] By mid-2017, the whole band was recording the project, produced by Turner and James Ford, in both Los Angeles and France. [138] They were joined by other musicians including Cam Avery, James Righton, Zach Dawes, Tyler Parkford, Tom Rowley and Loren Humphrey. [139]

Upon release, Jonah Weiner of Rolling Stone characterised Tranquility Base as "a captivatingly bizarre album about the role of entertainment – the desire to escape into it, and the desire to create it – during periods of societal upheaval and crisis." [140] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian found it "quietly impressive" that the band chose to release the "thrilling, smug, clever and oddly cold album" rather than more crowd-pleasing fare. [141] Jazz Monroe of Pitchfork declared it "a delirious and artful satire directed at the foundations of modern society." [142] The album became the eighth chart-topping album of Turner's career in the UK. [143] The band announced plans to tour the album from May to October 2018. [144]
