Alfie Templeman

Inspired by modern influences like Steve Lacy, Khruangbin and Leon Bridges, as well as Alfie's constant cosmic guide Todd Rundgren, Bedfordshire indie pop musician Alfie Templeman taps into youthful sincerity while displaying a talent and songwriting ability beyond his years.

His debut album 'Mellow Moon', which topped the indie chart and reached no.31 in the main UK album chart, "feels like something of a miracle, landing somewhere between an otherworldly trip and a joy-filled ode to life back on earth". A platform from which he will surely use to propel himself further into the stratosphere.

Like all journeys, the change in mood is palpable throughout, with songs like the nostalgic '3D Feelings' or 'Broken', which is about "all the little wobbles of being a teen and figuring yourself out," that bristle with the energy of a life being lived again. If ever proof were needed that music is a salvation or a transportative force, this is it.
