Allie X

Canadian-born singer and songwriter Allie X began her career as an indie pop artist in Toronto in the mid – 2000s, playing with local bands and writing and recording a handful of self-released albums. Success as a solo artist did not come to Allie X overnight. Song writing for others was a diversion — and a necessary source of income. Despite this, she didn’t stop working on her solo material. She has always been striving to become the best artist she can be and is ever experimenting and evolving her sound. After relocating to Los Angeles she adopted the stage name Allie X and began working with producers Cirkut and Billboard. In early 2014, Allie X released her debut single titled “Catch”, which received critical acclaim. Her careering vocals, strange lyrics and personal style have attracted a devoted international following. She describes her melodies as being “soaring pop, borderline theatrical Disney”, while her lyrics, “always seem to be darker.” She compares song writing to a science experiment in which you put two people’s brains together for a few hours and see what they can come up with.
