Alexandra Savior

Female singer/songwriter Alexandra Savior was born Alexandra Savior McDermott on June 14, 1995. A self-proclaimed misfit in high school, she quickly gained an interest in songwriting as a teenager in order to express her feelings. In 2012, before she graduated high school, a clip she made of herself singing Angus Stone’s song “Big Jet Plane” was seen and championed by Courtney Love. Deciding against college in favor of a music career, she signed with Columbia in 2013 and began work on her debut album with Arctic Monkey’s frontman Alex Turner. As they shaped material for her debut, her song “M.T.M.E.” appeared in the series True Detective in 2015. Her first LP, Belladonna of Sadness, was completed that same year, but was not released until 2017. That album showcased her torchy voice, moody lyrics, and cinematic soundscapes. It earned her good reviews, and brought comparisons to Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey. Columbia Records, disappointed with the sales, dropped her and she signed with 30^th Century Records, who released her sophomore album, The Archer, in early 2020.
