Alex G
Alex G, stage alias of Alex Giannascoli, is a prolific singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who built his reputation combining strong melodic sensibilities with a ragged, impulsive-sounding performance style. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of his generation, the release of Alex G’s ninth studio album in 2022, God Save the Animals, was met with critical acclaim across the board, hailed as “a tour de force” (Rolling Stone) and “his most thrilling and playful record yet” (Vanity Fair). Most recently, Alex composed the original score for the A24 film I Saw The TV Glow, continuing his work with director Jane Schoenbrun, who he previously collaborated with on the 2021 film We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. In 2024, Alex announced his signing to RCA Records.
