Alex Cornish is an Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter. He was educated at The Harvey Grammar School, Folkestone.
His debut album, Until the Traffic Stops, was released in 2008 on Bellevue Records and was co-produced by Stuart Wilson. Later in 2008, the album was remixed with much of it re-recorded, this time with Cornish working on his own. The album re-released at the end of April 2009. Cornish wrote, sang and performed all the tracks on the album, in his home studio in Edinburgh.[1] with Simon Berriman (drums) and Bevis Hungate (piano) contributing. They also form part of Cornish's live band. Cornish has been played on BBC Radio 1,[2] BBC Radio 2,[3] BBC 6 Music[4] and XFM Scotland.

He also supported Amy Macdonald.[11] Cornish has also supported, amongst others, Tom McRae,[12] and Starsailor.[13] Cornish's third album No Shore was released in June 2011, described by The Sunday Times as 'a beautiful album'.[14]

He also played piano in Williams' band.[15] In 2014, Cornish toured the UK with his own band and also supported Alison Moyet on various dates including The Royal Albert Hall in London.[16] Cornish's fourth album, Beyond the Serenade, was released in May 2015. In January 2015, Cornish was live in session with Dermot O'Leary on BBC Radio 2 alongside Idlewild.[17] Cornish's music has featured in many US TV shows including Showtime's The Big C[18] and ABC's Private Practice.[19]
