Alex Amen is a 25-year-old artist and songwriter whose path has taken him from Texas to California, via communes, mountain trails and wooden boatyards. After dropping out of film school, he immersed himself in the countercultural spirit of the Dittman Family Commune before retreating to an island in Washington State, where isolation fed his poetry and craft. Now based in Los Angeles, Alex is shaping raw stories of restlessness and resilience into music that draws from folk, Americana and country traditions while carrying his own offbeat, restless edge.
