Who Is Olly Alexander?

Oliver Alexander Thornton, known professionally as Olly Alexander, was born on July 15 1990 in Harrogate, England. As a child, he starred in two school productions and went on to further his education in Performing Arts at the Hereford College of Arts. He later dropped out of college to pursue his acting career through his agent at the age of sixteen.

He rose to fame as the lead singer of the British pop band Years & Years, who have released several popular singles including “King“, which reached the top spot in the UK charts and entered the top 10 in thirteen other countries. The award-winning band also had two number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart.

Olly Alexander was internally selected by the BBC to represent the United Kingdom at the 2024 contest in Malmö with his song “Dizzy”. As a member of the Big Five, the United Kingdom automatically qualifies for the Grand Final.
