Alice Merton, born in 1993, is a German-Canadian singer-songwriter who has made her base in Britain, and her debut single did the heavy lifting fast. "No Roots", a stomping, bass-heavy anthem, took her straight into the mainstream and lent its name to her first EP in 2017.

She sings and plays piano, and her records sit on the line where indie pop's hooks meet alt-rock's bite. Mint, her first full album, arrived in 2019 with "Lash Out", a jittery burst of nervous energy, and the strutting "Funny Business". The Blindside EP followed in 2022 with "Vertigo", as did her second album, S.I.D.E.S., and a third, Visions, landed in January 2026.

The trophies came early: she won the Preis für Popkultur in 2017 and the Echo Pop Award for Best National Rock/Pop Female Artist in 2018.
