Bio
London born, late-comer Alexander Johnson had lived an unusual and interesting life before he started to manifest all his many experiences, into lyrics and music. A fervent reader and music lover, Alexander's life-long dream was always to be, in some form or another, an artist.
In the year 2001 a friend asked Alexander if he could write lyrics for some music for fun, he agreed. Alexander soon realised that he had a talent dormant, a flair for writing, long ignored since his youth.
A request to write lyrics for a bar related blues, planted the seeds of his ambitious musical work 'Storm' into Alexander's head. Alexander worked most of 2003 and 2004 alone: researching, rewriting, and creating; by the end of 2004 he had a script and the lyrics, to most of the songs, down on paper.
February 2005 saw chance encounter with a co-composer, and August 2008 most of the songs of the musical 'Storm' were recorded by some of Switzerland's finest performing and studio musicians, while a professional creative team brought the 'Storm' to stage for the first time in May 2009, much acclaimed by audience and press alike.
Deep, socio-critical, or romantic, playful, and spiced with this certain British humour, as lyricist Alexander impresses with a blend of genres and genial-honest, to the point words. Remarkably, Alexander does not play any instrument himself, but melodies and rhythm come natural, well interfacing with musicians, engineers and producers, by simply singing, tapping and smiling.
Enjoy!
