Alex wrote her first song at age seven, taught herself piano after being turned away by an instructor, and has since written over 1,000 songs that have topped charts in three countries. Alex Hosking is an Adelaide-born singer-songwriter, topliner, producer, and DJ - one of the most quietly prolific forces in the global electronic music scene. She began writing songs as a child, navigating dyslexia by finding clarity and structure in poetry and lyrics in a way classrooms never offered her. What started as a personal outlet became a professional calling: by her early twenties she was attending songwriting camps in Amsterdam, cold-pitching collaborators across time zones, and building a catalog of work that would eventually catch the attention of some of the world's biggest electronic labels and publishers. In 2017, Alex signed a global publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The deal secured in part by a demo she wrote at a songwriting camp she nearly skipped to save money. That song became "Fake Friends." Released in 2020 as a collaboration with New York DJ PS1, it peaked at #19 on the Official UK Singles Chart, earned BPI Gold certification, went viral on TikTok, and surpassed 19 million Spotify streams. The follow-up, "Life Goes On" (2021), earned BPI Silver and peaked at #5 on the US Billboard Dance Charts. Together the two tracks have amassed over 100 million streams worldwide. Her co-writes have since topped charts in the UK and Germany — "Saying Something" with Lucas & Steve and "Skin Deep" with Tom Ferry both reaching #1 on their respective national dance charts. None of this came easily or quickly. Alex spent years working invisibly, writing for other artists, attending camps, travelling between Adelaide, London, LA, and Amsterdam, and spending two consecutive Christmases away from family as the price of building an international career. Her hearing condition has shaped a fiercely self-reliant approach to craft; rather than slow her output, it has produced a catalog of over 1,000 professionally written songs across electronic, house, pop, and beyond - collaborations with Spinnin' Records, Dim Mak, Stmpd Rcrds (Martin Garrix's label), and more. In 2024, "Jungle" with drum and bass DJ 1991 surpassed 4 million Spotify streams, earned BBC Radio 1 and Triple J airplay, and rang out from the main stages of EDC and Tomorrowland. "Keep It Exciting" with Mr. Belt & Wezol and Qobra followed, surpassing 6 million streams in its first month. By 2025, Alex had expanded into DJing and production in earnest, performing at the Australian Open, Tomorrowland Winter, TRNSMT Festival, Reading Festival, and supporting Peaking Duk on their sold-out Australian tour, a full-circle moment for a Canberra kid who built her name on the other side of the world. Sony/ATV's Senior A&R Michele Hamelink described her as "an amazing personality who lights up every writing room she walks into", a reputation she has carried from Adelaide writing camps to international festival stages. She also actively coaches the next generation as a mentor at The Studio and Star Factory, bringing the same transparency about sacrifice, craft, and hustle to emerging Australian songwriters that has defined her own path.
