Sam Casey co-wrote an EP of songs called New Company with UK producer Joe Thompson, a second EP of songs entitled More Songs About Weed And Toxic Relationships co-written with and produced by JUNO nominated Canadian producer/songwriter Mike Schlosser, and a standalone single called 7 Second Superstar. Her New Company EP featured unique remixes by Martha and the Muffins, Alex Exists, Mike Schlosser and D. Park. Recently, Sam and Mike Schlosser went on a songwriting trip to Los Angeles where they co-wrote songs with various American and international songwriters including the touring bassist for Olivia Rodgrigo. Sam and Mike also travelled to Vancouver to co-write with Brian West (Nelly Furtado/Maroon 5) and Chin Injeti (DJ Khalil/Drake). These collaborations will be included on her third EP in 2024.
The signature of Alex Exists music is his unique sonic touches, drum heavy rhythms and classic pop-through-a-blender melodies. He fuses neo-glam pomp and post punk sneer with a razor-sharp tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Alex is fascinated by pop culture and ego which is reflected in his topical on-point lyrics. A founding member of both The Ruby Spirit and The Nursery, Alex Exists started his foray into music at the tender age of eight when he wrote and recorded his first songs (and noisy experiments) using the family’s home karaoke machine. Its two tape decks and record functions were used to overdub and build songs with Alex recording with every instrument he could get his hands on. As a solo artist, he has released his debut solo album, Everybody’s Famous, as well as the singles Rock On and Never Christmas Without You.
“Drawing inspiration from a range of influences including glam rock, psychedelic, grunge, new wave and baroque pop, Alex Exists crafts a strikingly bold mix of thought-provoking and infectious tunes that push the envelope of pop-culture.” ~ Plastic Magazine
