Alexander’s work is rooted in his experience of being brought up in a cult, and heavily influenced by his time in the UK rave scene. Expect twisted logic, chemically induced inspirations and honest confession.

A sharp, confident performer with excellent material
Alexander Rhodes done the business supporting me on tour. He belongs on the stage
Soulful and searing... A pleasure to listen too
