Alice Merton

Alice Merton (born 13 September 1993 in Frankfurt) is a German-Canadian-English singer and songwriter. Merton achieved mainstream success with her debut single, "No Roots", a No 1 single in France. In March 2018, the single was released in the UK joining BBC Radio 2's playlist.

Merton was born in Frankfurt, Germany to a German mother and a British father. Merton's family moved frequently due to her father's job. When she was three months old, Merton moved to Connecticut. Shortly thereafter, they relocated to Oakville, Ontario, Canada where she was raised until the age of thirteen when her family relocated to Munich. Merton's return to Germany prompted her to learn German which enabled her to speak with her German grandmother whom she had only seen once annually growing up. Merton attended a German-language high school before graduating and moving to England. In 2013, she started her studies at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim, where she earned a bachelor's degree in composition and song writing. There, she met her future band. Growing up, Merton has lived in Oakville, Ontario, Connecticut, New York, Munich, Bournemouth, London, and Berlin, among other cities. Through her upbringing, Merton has stated she has felt connected to Canada, England, Germany, and France where her mother lived, and currently lives in London.

She released her first album, Mint, in 2019, followed by S.I.D.E.S in 2022.
