Alex Lloyd (born 19 November 1974) is an Australian singer-songwriter. He is best known for his four top ten albums, Black the Sun, Watching Angels Mend, Distant Light and Alex Lloyd; all released between 1999 and 2005. Lloyd has also won the ARIA Award for Best Male Artist on three occasions.
Alexander Wasiliev was born to a father of Russian descent and a mother of Irish descent.[1] Lloyd grew up in the inner Sydney suburb of Balmain, New South Wales, and attended Balmain High School (now Sydney Secondary College Balmain Campus).
At the age of 15, Lloyd was a member of a school rock band that won the 1990 Balmain Battle of the Bands. This mainly blues-rock band evolved into “The Beefs”, which began playing in local pubs and clubs and into indie rock band Mother Hubbard. Lloyd adopted his mother’s maiden name ‘Lloyd’, following her unexpected death in 1991.[2]
