History

Alice Faye is a singer-songwriter and vocalist with a uniquely recognisable voice and distinctly vintage sound. Alice has an innate passion for live performance expressed through her vulnerable-to-powerful singing style and her engagingly genre-fluid song-writing style. She has carved out this confidence and sense of artistry through her varied musical influences ranging from Vaudeville, Opera, 1930s jazz, 1960s pop and vintage-country. Faye would describe her music as either ‘pop-opera’ or ‘retro-pop’. The musical world of 'Alice Faye' may contain a whole host of moods and genres but her voice acts as the clear glue that binds each song and aesthetic idea together, all woven together with a strong sense of self visually as well as sonically. Faye's lyrics speak to the experiences of young women, coming-of-age and empathy for yourself and others. This has resulted in a fanbase that varies completely in age, lifestyle, gender expression and background. Alice has had widespread airplay on BBC Radio 2 (Jo Whiley), Radio 6 Music (Guy Garvey), BBC Radio Scotland (various) and BBC Radio London. Featuring too in articles for the List, the Skinny and Snackmag.

Alice recently had the chance to support Rufus Wainwright twice for his Scottish shows in 2024, as well as Nick Lowe, Marlon Williams and US guitarist Joshua Lee Turner and Liverpudlian-pianist Brad Kella for their mini tours around the UK this year.
