Ali Horn

He burrowed into the corners of any working studio that would let him hang around and set about working on his own music. He quickly caught the attention of rooftop records and funnel music with which he released his debut singles and an E.P. in 2019 gaining valuable fans in Liz Kershaw at BBC6 Music with her dubbing his single Dreamers her track of the year. Since then Ali has released his debut full album Balcony Boys in 2021 to critical acclaim with a follow up planned for this year.
