Tell us three things about yourself?
If I wasn't an artist, I was going to be a lawyer.
I was in a church choir for most of my teenage years and they used to rehearse on a Saturday night which I hated but now I’m really glad I did it
I love Madonna.
How would you describe your music?
I would describe it as raw, honest, sometimes a little uncomfortable, but at its core, it’s pop music.
Who are your musical inspirations?
Lorde has always inspired me a bunch musically, whilst on the visual and performance side, Madonna has always been a huge guiding light in terms of being high energy and super creative. I want to write poetic lyrics but still put on a show on stage.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
It was Gracie Abrams in a 400-capacity venue in Leeds in 2021. I remember seeing how she made that venue feel so intimate and special and I really wanted that for myself one day.
What was the first record you ever bought?
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love.
What’s your favourite song right now?
Lie down - Saya Gray.
Favourite Lyric of all time?
"Don’t say that I’m happy, you know that I’m not, but at least I can say I’m not sad, cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have" - Hope is a Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have by Lana Del Rey.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Causing a Commotion – Madonna.
Where can people find your music?
Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, TikTok - all under alessi rose - I am truly inescapable.
Alan Corr
