Alexi Murdoch is a singer-songwriter born in London to a Greek father and Scottish-French mother. Murdoch was raised in Athens and lived there until he was 10 and then the family packed up and moved to Scotland.

Murdoch moved to the U.S. in 1998 and studied at Duke University before moving to LA.

He gained attention after LA DJ Nic Harcourt played his music on KCRW which lead to further attention from local music supervisors in the TV and film industry.

Alexi self-published his Four Songs EP in November of 2002 which was sold through indie record stores and CD Baby where it sold over 50,000 copies becoming the site's all-time bestselling record. The following year he took his act to the stages of South by Southwest and the Sundance Film Festival.

2006 saw the release of his first full-length release, Time Without Consequence which he released on his own label, Zero Summer, turning down offers from major labels so that he could maintain creative control over his projects. Music from the album has turned up in many TV episodes including The O.C., House, Prison Break, Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money, Ladder 49, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, Without a Trace, and numerous others. Murdoch's music was also featured in the film "Away We Go".

In 2008 Murdoch was the opener for Alanis Morrisette's tour and went on to his own headline tour in 2009.

Murdoch released his second full-length album, "Towards the Sun" this year. He is currently offering the title track through his website.
