Alfie Hudson Taylor has released his debut solo single, Being In Love. We asked him the BIG questions . . .

One-half of sibling duo Hudson Taylor, Alfie faced the harsh reality of financial challenges, vividly illustrated by having €80 in his bank account on the day their second album reached number one in Ireland.

Motivated by a deep-seated desire to shed light on the trials artists face in today's music industry, he decided to step away from the brotherly partnership.

In October 2023, Alfie took the initiative to share his profound experiences and insights with the world through the release of the podcast How To Break An Artist.

Tell us three things about yourself . . .

I'm Alfie. Three things about me to tell you would be that I’m a songwriter/artist and recently have become a podcaster. And I like to bake bread.

How would you describe your music?

I write lyrics about all sorts that happen in my life and my sound varies between folk, pop and rock.

Who are your musical inspirations?

Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake and The Beatles

What was the first gig you ever went to?

The first gig I went to was to see Oasis in Slane castle when I was around 16. I got right up the front and it’s still to this day one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to.

What was the first record you ever bought?

The first record I bought . . . it’s not great to be honest, was Who Let The Dogs Out. I was very young, not my proudest moment.

What’s your favourite song right now?

Favourite song now and always is From The Morning - Nick Drake.

Favourite lyric of all time?

"It’s getting better all the time" - Getting Better by The Beatles.

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Angel by Little Simz.
