Alice Florence Clarissa Merton, born on September 13, 1993, is a German-Canadian singer-songwriter who has garnered widespread international acclaim for her distinct indie pop sound and narrative-driven songwriting. Raised across multiple countries, her transient upbringing heavily influenced her creative output, most notably inspiring her breakout work. Currently based in the United Kingdom, she continues to write and perform for a global audience.\n\nMerton rose to mainstream prominence with the release of her debut single, "No Roots," which resonated with audiences worldwide and became a major commercial success. The track served as the cornerstone of her 2017 debut EP of the same name, showcasing her ability to blend infectious hooks with autobiographical themes. Building on this momentum, she released her debut studio album, Mint, in 2019, which further established her reputation for crafting rhythm-driven pop music with deeply personal lyrics.\n\nContinuing her artistic evolution, Merton released her second studio album, S.I.D.E.S., in 2022, showcasing a more introspective and sonically diverse approach to her music. This was followed by her third studio album, Visions, released in January 2026.
