Alex Warren

By hosting the video show AwesomenessTV's Next Influencer and organizing the content creation team Hype House, Alex Warren became a viral star of the social media generation. He then turned that success as an influencer into a burgeoning music career, releasing a series of singles with middling success before scoring a genuine hit in 2024 with "Before You Leave Me." Warren was born in Carlsbad, California, on September 18, 2000. He pursued skateboarding as a child and began posting content on Instagram as a teenager in May 2015. Extremely popular on video and social platforms, his success as a content creator increased when he appeared on the Hype House, a Netflix show about a house filled with fellow TikTok stars. His debut single, "One More I Love You," was released independently in June 2021. One year later, Warren signed with Atlantic Records and made his major-label debut with "Headlights," which racked more nearly 75 million views before its official release. Songs like "Give You Love" and "Change Your Mind" followed in 2023. The following year saw international recognition with hits on several European charts for "Before You Leave Me," "Save You a Seat," and "Carry You Home" (both solo and with Ella Henderson). Part acoustic, part electric, he wields the stomp and holler style on the album You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), featuring his hits and new songs. In 2024, his single "Burning Down" was the first to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, at the 69th place (number 23 in UK). Unveiled in the reality television series Love Is Blind, the single "Ordinary" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles chart, among top 10 places around the world. It announced the sophomore album You'll Be Alright, Kid (2025), featuring "Bloodline" with Jelly Roll, and "On My Mind" with Rosé. The LP debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200, while another album track, “Eternity,” became a hit in its own right, reaching number 16 on the Hot 100. His breakthrough year earned him a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2026, and he performed “Ordinary” during the ceremony. Alex Warren opened his next chapter with “Fever Dream,” followed by “Fine Place to Die,” “Passenger,” and “Rescuer.” The singles introduced his second studio album, WILDCHILD, a 13-track record inspired by a nickname given to him by his late father and exploring grief, love, healing, and self-discovery. The album was released through Atlantic Records on August 28, 2026, and quickly rose to the top of the UK charts.
