About Me

Me
Hi, I'm Alex Hel and i'm ginger which is nice.
I used to go to Uni but i graduated this summer, that was good fun, i got to wear a silly hat and everything.
I sing and play guitar all by myself, which is good since i'm 22 now.
I write pop folk songs about being in love, getting dumped and making friends, you know........the usual stuff.
If you'd like me to play a show for you that'd be awesome fun to just message me and we'll hook it up yeah?
