Alex Clare

Alex Clare (born 14 September 1985) is a British singer and songwriter. Born in Southwark, London, Clare adopted his stage name, Alex Clare, in 2010, replacing Alexander G. Muertos, a pseudonym he first used whilst still at school. A demo earned Alex a deal with the Island Records label in the UK, and in 2011, he released his debut album, The Lateness of the Hour . Its biggest hit, “Too Close”, peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was also nominated for Best British Single at the 2013 Brit Awards. The two other singles from the album were “Treading Water” and “Up All Night”. However, Alex was later dropped by his label, as the album didn’t do very well. Nevertheless, in 2012, the success of “Too Close” was reignited when it was used in many Internet Explorer 9 adverts, like this one. 2014 saw the release of Three Hearts, and two years later, he dropped Tail of Lions. Alex Clare also once went out with Amy Winehouse for a year before her success. As well as this, Alex is an Orthodox Jew, making it hard to balance religion and music.
