Alex Whorms (pronounced "warms") crafts music that is a genre unto itself. The singer-songwriter and screen composer flawlessly blends indie, rock, pop, jazz and cinematic styles into a sound that is at once intimate, anthemic and unforgettable. Growing up in Pickering, Ontario, she found early inspiration in fellow hometown artist Sarah Slean, the theatricality of Tori Amos, and the eccentric grit of Fiona Apple—shaping her distinct piano-driven style. But Whorms rarely sits at the piano—she's on her feet dancing as she plays, with a voice that dares you to feel it all. Now based in Hamilton, Alex has released four EPs, won a Hamilton Arts Award and played major festivals including Toronto Pride, Supercrawl, and Canadian Music Week. Her work has appeared on over 30 CBC Radio shows and on national TV. She has composed the soundtracks to award-winning documentaries and, as a contributor to CBC Music, she writes articles and appears on camera to share stories about Canadian music and culture. Her latest single, "PARANOID!", is a turning point into a louder, more chaotic era. Visually and sonically, the track signals a clear shift for Whorms. Acting as a reintroduction with more edge than ever before, the single sets the foundation for a larger project unfolding throughout the year. Her live performances channel that same honesty and drive, welcoming listeners who are ready to embrace their shadows and move forward with their jagged edges intact.
