About Alexander Howard


What if Debbie Harry What if Debbie Harry and Bryan Ferry had a son, and sent him to the Max Martin school of songwriting in downtown NYC...on a school bus driven by Prince?

That's one reply you might get if you asked Alexander Howard to describe his music. On another day, you might get the story of the native New Yorker songwriting his nights away...playing shows in the Lower East Side clubs, developing a sound that pays tribute to the past while seeking to carve out a new space in the current pop-scape. Collaborating with the production outfit Robopop (Lana Del Rey, Maroon 5), Howard's hook-driven debut references indie rock, pop, and even the american songbook.

Artful pop is the aim. Tightly crafted songwriting, a soulful vocal, and a sense of style that sits somewhere between Brit tailoring and downtown New Yorker create a digital-crooner sound and aesthetic that's as singular and diverse as the city he calls home???

That's one reply you might get if you asked Alexander Howard to describe his artist identity. On another day, you might get the story of the native New Yorker songwriting his nights away...playing shows in the lower east side, LA and London, developing a sound that pays tribute to the past and carving out a new space in the musical landscape.

After graduating from Columbia, Howard entrenched himself in the NY fashion and music scenes...contributing to Interview and several international fashion magazines while playing shows and bouncing between songwriting sessions. Collaborating with the production outfit Robopop (Lana Del Rey, Maroon 5), Howard's hook-driven debut references indie rock, pop, and even the american songbook--all staples in a musical upbringing as diverse as the city he calls home.

Artful pop is the result. Tightly crafted songwriting, a soulful vocal, and a fashion sense that sits somewhere between Brit tailoring and downtown NY style create a digital-crooner sound and aesthetic that's fresh to the contemporary pop-scape. What if Debbie Harry and Bryan Ferry had a son.....
