      You know, I’ve been a fan for 4 years now and it’s crazy to see how much you’ve changed, improved, and blown up. You’re so talented and I’m pretty much addicted to the music.

    "I can't give anybody advice"
    EXCUSE ME!? SIR YOUR SONGS ARE GIVING US A LOT OF ADVICE

      Yes true!

      Seriously! And if his songs don't give advice, they give you a best friend that KNOWS.

    Alec's actually changed a lot during the years :) I love his "old" and recent songs equally, his writing style has changed but his songs are all super relatable and I just love the way he sees this world and the way he feels about certain things and expresses these thoughts in his songs. His looks have changed a lot too, but he's still the same from the inside :)
    I think the best thing that has changed over the years is how much recognition he gets. Because I feel like now he's finally starting to get a lot of attention and all of the hard work over the years is finally starting to pay off. From playing in parking lots to touring the world- couldn't be more proud of him🧡🧡

    I saw Alec live a few months ago and it was 100% the best concert I've been to. He totally blew me away! If you have the chance to see him, be sure to do it! His songs are on a whole other level live 👏

      I am jealous of everyone who gets to see him at a concert, I have multiple reasons why I can't go but will always listen to his music on spotify and yt

    Alec has helped me through so much with everything in my life. I have been with him since paper crown came out and I never looked back. He has been my favourite artist for 6 years and I know all the lyrics to all of his songs he put out, demos and all. So glad he is getting the recognition he deserves.

    I met you in Sydney in 2018 with my daughter ( we flew in from Adelaide), I thought you were so nice spending time chatting with us , we really enjoyed meeting you and it was so kind of you to seek us out before leaving the venue to say goodbye. And you give the greatest hugs. My advice to you Alec is never change just be you.😊

    Its so amazing to know how Alec's career was sorta built off of loads of inspiration from people he admired, but now its his fans kicking their careers off because they are inspired by him :D

    i discovered him through a friend mid 2019 or so. (it was "Outrunning Karma".) but the name, or even listenin to anything outside of that song, didn't set in until a few months later when he dropped "Jesus in LA". and oh man, was i hooked! and i haven't let go since! the guy is so addictive!! and recently seein him perform live was an absolute dream come true!! i can't imagine my life w out his music playing in my ears almost every day! love u man, keep it up, and keep bein u!! 🧡🧡

    I remember when he was first starting out, and not a lot of people knew who he was. Now I feel like a lot more people know. Especially on tiktok 🤍🫶🏻 so proud of how far he’s come!
