Alex Amen

Alex Amen is an artist and songwriter from Texas. At eighteen, Alex moved from Texas to California to study filmmaking. After one semester he dropped out and moved onto the "Dittman Family Commune", a commune with historic ties to the countercultural movements of the mid-60’s. Here he formed his first band, “American Slang” in 2017. The band broke up shortly after, resulting in Alex’s move from Southern California to an island in the Puget Sound of Washington State. The next three years he spent in relative isolation… taking up various interests in mycology, mountaineering, poetry, and wooden boat building. As years passed, Alex felt the need to return to California to continue pursuing music. In January of 2023 he produced his first EP “The Zorthian Tapes” (released June 2025) in a self built studio at the historic Zorthian Ranch in Altadena, California. Alex now lives in Los Angeles, releasing music among the growing folk/americana/country scene in the city and performing his music across America & beyond.
