With her first single, No Roots, which she released in 2016, the German-Canadian-English singer made her break into the mainstream. Since then, she has gone on to achieve even greater things.
Alice Merton Biography
It was in Frankfurt, Germany on 13 September 1993 that Alice Merton was born to a father who is British and a German mother. Only a few months after her birth, her family moved to Connecticut in the United States before moving again shortly after that to Ontario. She remained here for the first 13 years of her life before she had to move again to Munich.
While she was growing up, her family was almost constantly moving because her father worked as a mining consultant. This would later influence her first song which also gave the young singer her first taste of fame. The singer lived in places like New York, Bournemouth, London, Connecticut, and different other places.
She was first drawn to music as a little girl when she started learning to sing and play classical piano. Alice had her high school education in Germany where she also wrote her first song ever. After high school, she moved yet again with her family to England. However, she later found her way back to her country of birth where she got a composition and songwriting degree from the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim.
Career-wise, the first time that any light of fame shone her way was in 2015 when she featured in The Book of Nature album of Fahrenhaidt. The next year, she released her first single No Roots which was an instant hit in different parts of the world including the US where it was certified Gold as well as Germany where it attained 3 Golds and in Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and France where it was certified platinum.
In February 2017, she released her first EP, No Roots, which recorded fair success. It was later followed by the release of her album Mint in January 2018. The album was considerably successful in Germany and other parts of the world.
Her Family
Alice Merton described the family in which she was brought up as pretty much very restless, which she claimed to be the reason behind some of the movements of the family.
