Biography:

Its Pronounced “Lockrey”

Born and raised in Paris the artist known as Axel Loughrey picked up his first guitar at the tender age of 8, completed his first songs at 14 and hasn’t looked back since. He eventually packed up his guitar with a head full of songs and ventured across the North Sea to arrive on these shores and try his luck in the demanding world of the UK music scene.
Championed by the likes of Ms Jo Whiley and interviews and live material aired on Channel 4 Music, Axel Loughrey has certainly raised the eyebrows of music royalty in more ways than one. From being the main man in the now defunct Ruby Red Lips to taking on the heavy traffic of the UK music scene head on with his own solo material, this has proved to be the right decision as he was picked from a staggering 70000 applicants to grace the stage at Orange Unsigned. Axel released his debut E.P ‘love Thing’ on All Sorted Sorted!?! Records in May 2011 to great acclaim, he secured air play on BBC, Kerrang, Q and recieved countless outstanding reviews. Axel also had the title track ‘Love Thing’ named as Classic Rock Magazine’s song of the day in the summer of 2011. Whilst touring relentlessly, Axel secured slots at some of the UK’s most famous venues such as The Camden Barfly, Liverpool’s Cavern Club, The O2 Academy Islington. Axel also supported and shared bills with the likes of Frank Turner, The King Blues, Secret Sisters, Kill it kid, the Weeks, The Future Heads, Louise & The Pins to name a few. Axel’s new album ‘Crayon Factory’ is set to hit the shelves in January 2012. Having recorded at the infamous Leeders Farm it promises to keep up to its expectations.
With a voice and music style as velvet as Lou Reed’s Underground, Axel certainly has the style, the look, and most importantly the songs ready to deliver to the wider audience. With two self released EP’s and a label released E.P already in his kit bag, the beautiful ‘Small Town, Small People’, the invoking ‘Galloway Hill’ and the powerfull ‘Love Thing E.P’ Axel is already taking the acclaim and plaudits on the live scene and is now ready to step forth with his fourth and highly anticipated debut album release a darker side of the blues which makes ‘Crayon Factory’.
With a myriad of high profile gigs and festival appearances already secured, and a wide range of music industry gurus biting at the bit, Axel could soon well be the next 21st century boy!!
