Alex Warren is having a very busy year. His single Ordinary went to number one and he had two more songs in the UK top 40 earlier this year. Ordinary and Bloodline are still there. He is also a founding member of the Hype House – a collaborative TikTok group from 2019 to 2022.
“From being homeless and sleeping in friends’ cars to his current rise to stardom as a multitalented musician, Warren has shared the intimate details of his life with the world for more than a decade, building an online community of 26 million followers,” Aiken Promotions says. The US singer-songwriter will take to the stage in Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens as part of his world tour.
