Alex G, born Alexander Giannascoli on February 3, 1993, is a versatile American musician, producer, and singer-songwriter. Starting his career with a series of DIY self-releases on Bandcamp, Alex G gained significant recognition with his label debut, DSU (2014), released on Orchid Tapes. His unique musical style incorporates elements of indie rock with a lo-fi aesthetic, distinguishing him as an artist with a penchant for crafting fuzzy, sometimes distorted songs that hark back to the slightly askew 1990s bands such as Pavement.
Hailing from Havertown, Pennsylvania, Giannascoli's early musical journey began at the age of 11 when he learned to play his brother's guitar, eventually leading him to experiment with various musical styles during his high school years. Notable projects include the "goth techno" collaborations with his sister in the band MOTHER and his high school band The Skin Cells, characterized as "pop rock that accidentally ended up being punk."
After self-releasing albums, EPs, and singles on Bandcamp from 2010 to 2012, Alex G's popularity soared through word of mouth, blogs, and recognition from fellow musicians. Orchid Tapes signed him to its roster, reissuing earlier releases like Rules and Trick (2012). Later, Lucky Number also contributed to the reissue of his previous works.
In 2015, Alex G signed with Domino Recording Company, marking a significant milestone in his career. Subsequent albums, including Beach Music (2015), Rocket (2017), House of Sugar (2019), and God Save the Animals (2022), showcase his evolution as a musician, with each release garnering acclaim and further establishing his presence in the indie music scene.
Known for his creative process of recording all his music in his home, Giannascoli's musical style draws comparisons to influential artists like Elliott Smith, Built to Spill, and The Martinis.
