Alexis Taylor is a singer and multi-instrumentalist born in London on April 20, 1980. He is best known as the lead vocalist and guitar/keyboard player of the band Hot Chip.
With his unique blend of electronic and indie pop, Alexis Taylor has captivated audiences around the world. His soulful vocals and masterful instrumental skills have made him a standout performer in the music industry.
In addition to his work with Hot Chip, Alexis Taylor has collaborated with other notable artists such as Joe Goddard, The 2 Bears, and Damon Albarn. His musical style draws inspiration from a diverse range of genres including disco, synth-pop, and folk.

Best known as Hot Chip's clear-voiced frontman, Alexis Taylor also pursues a solo career as an introspective singer/songwriter, exploring distinct themes and ideas with each record. Alexis releases his sixth and strongest solo album to date, Silence.

Mostly composed in enforced isolation, Silence is a beautifully rich and unexpected conceptual album that is also Alexis’ most accomplished solo record and one that has seen early comparisons with a notably eclectic range of artists including Mark Hollis, George Michael, Big Star, Epic Soundtracks and Maher Shalal Hash Baz. This record sees the first time Alexis has collaborated with Sam Becker (double bass), Kenichi Iwasa (horn, trumpet) and Rachel Horton-Kitchlew (harp), who due to lockdown had to work in isolation from Alexis. In one case Kenichi recorded musical passages which were then superimposed on songs he had never heard - in effect keeping the songs themselves silent from the playing until the mixes were played to him.
