Alek Olsen

Alek Olsen is an indie US singer-songwriter who began his career in 2015 with his first single "drift/(:(" and spent the next few years building on his portfolio with subsequent singles such as 2020's Rxseboy collaboration, "i'm a ghost but it hurts," and "moon ~ sun." His career breakthrough came in 2023 with the understated lo-fi folk favourite "someday i'll get it," which landed the number spot on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 thanks to a TikTok trend about deceased or dying pets, and overtaking Djo's "End of Beginning." By 2024, "someday i'll get it" had made a commercial impact on the mainstream, cracking the UK's Top 100 Singles Official Chart.
