Alex Tierney

Alex Tierney is a 23 year old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Dublin, Ireland who merges his catchy pop and gentle folk songwriting sensibilities with elements of hip-hop and r&b production. His music is inspired by a broad range of artists across many genres like Bon Iver, Clairo, The Japanese House, Caroline Polachek and everything in between.

Alex's music caught the ear of Lewis Capaldi who invited him to open his show at Dublin's iconic Olympia Theatre during his last tour before the pandemic, wowing the crowd with stripped back versions of his originals. His four singles Over The Maybes, Painkiller, Settle For (21) and I'm Fine also caught the attention of One Direction's Niall Horan who he counts as a fan and he's received big support from iHeartRadio, MTV, Vevo, Apple, Spotify, Amazon and more, with nearly 2 million streams across platforms and incredible playlist performance.

Over the last year Alex co-wrote the Carrie Baxter single “You” which was featured in the Eva Green movie “Nocebo” which had a US/Europe cinema release and is now on Netflix and other major streaming services. Another co-written song “For You & I” for 1000 Beasts with Alex as featured vocalist has passed the million stream mark. Alex was also a writer on the debut single “Midsummer” for Irish duo Volleyball which received support from Spotify editorial playlists.

Alex has also recently completed Nell Mescal’s Irish Tour as Special Guest including his first performance in Belfast’s Oh Yeah Centre. Previous tours have included supporting Lyra & Tim Chadwick.

Alex is a song-writing graduate of BIMM Dublin’s BA (Hons) Commercial Modern Music as part of the class of 2022.
