22 year old singer/songwriter Alex Quinn started out his career as a songwriter at the age of five when he wrote his first song "I love food." The song was a huge hit within the four walls of his parents' house. Failing to break outside the house, he decided to continue writing songs and sing. At the age of 13 he joined an (and get this) Extreme Symphonic Metal band on the drums. He played with the band for four years, but realised that it wasn't what he really wanted to do. He went on to be a songwriter and drummer for a pop/rock band that after three years of playing attained a smaller success with a few airplayed singles. Now, he is a freelance songwriter, orchestrator, actor. He is also songwriter and drummer in retro rock band ClubPilot.
This page however is dedicated to his solo project, where he has hand picked some of the best musicians he knows to make great music sound even better. His music can be described as low-key acoustic rock. With his heartfelt naive lyrics and catchy melodies, this ends up being something different.

Hei kjære Alex!!
Fy søren nå er det lenge siden jeg har snakket med deg. Trodde ikke du ville bli venn med meg jeg siden det er hundre år siden jeg sendte forespørselen.
Men tuuuuuuusen takk!
Hvordan går det med deg? Hørte at du fortsatt bor i Liverpool og at du har kjærste der.
Hjemme i julen? Kanskje vi kunne møttes og mimret litt om gamle dager?
Håper alt er bra.
Klem fra Australia
Hope you had a great summer and that everything is well.
I also wanted you to know that my album "Driftwood" is available on I TUNES now.
Search for DRIFTWOOD, and the artist BRÅTHEN, which is my scandinavian name.
Peace and love.

Yo Alex- ! I think you have a musical in YOU. Possibly several. Seriously - "Thank You" - add a piano accompaniment and it's a great theatre song.
Do stay in touch, man!
