Coming from a musically-inclined family, Clare drew inspiration from his father’s jazz collection and admired artists like Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder. While initially skilled in playing the trumpet and drums, he later transitioned to guitar playing and songwriting. His educational journey includes attending Bishop Challoner School in Bromley and further studies in the catering field at Westminster Kingsway College.

After impressing a label with his demo, he signed a contract with Island label in the UK, marking his debut with ‘The Lateness of the Hour’, an album produced by Major Lazer and Mike Spencer. Though receiving mixed reviews, it failed to achieve the anticipated commercial success, leading to Clare’s release from the record label. However, his fortunes changed when his first single ‘Up All Night’ and ‘Too Close’ gained international acclaim, with the latter being featured in an advertisement for Internet Explorer 9 and reaching the fourth position on the UK Singles Chart. The track also fared well on German charts and eventually secured the number one spot.

Clare’s rendition of ‘When Doves Cry’ received widespread attention in May 2011 when radio DJ Reggie Yates named it his ‘song of the day’. In the following period, 3FM, a Dutch radio station, declared his song ‘Too Close’ as their megahit of the week, leading the lead single of ‘The Lateness of the Hour’ to secure a place in the Top 10 hit songs list in five countries. Eager to expand his reach, Alex Clare collaborated with Universal Records, making his songs available in the US as well. In 2012, Clare featured in Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of “The War of the Worlds – The New Generation”, a concept album based on the novel of the same name.

Alex released his second album – “Three Hearts” – in May 2014, with the lead single ‘War Rages On’ being chosen as the theme song for “Our Girl”, a BBC drama. However, the second album didn’t match the success of the first one. Consequently, he was honored as the songwriter of the year by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. In 2016, his song ‘Up All Night’’ served as the theme song for “Class”, a BBC fiction series. The same year, he unveiled the album “Tail of Lions”, receiving largely positive reviews from both the audience and critics, scoring a total of four out of five stars on AllMusic. Subsequently, Alex established his own record label towards the end of 2016.

On a personal note, Alex Clare briefly dated Amy Winehouse in 2006. He adheres to Orthodox Judaism and maintains a strict kosher diet. While on tour, he endeavors to adhere to the Talmud schedule and align his profession with his religious convictions. His album “Tail of Lions” carries significant religious connotations, with several songs being inspired by Jewish proverbs. At present, he is married, has a child, and resides in Jerusalem.
