1) Alex Lloyd (born Alex Wasiliev in Sydney, November 1974) is an Australian singer-songwriter. His musical career can be traced all the way back to his teen years when, as a 13 year old upstart, he started playing in pubs with his first band, the blues based The Beefs.
After a stint in renowned Sydney indie rockers, Mother Hubbard, Lloyd went solo in 1997 and has since had a remarkable career that has garnered critical and public acclaim both in Australia and elsewhere.
His three solo albums - 1999’s Black The Sun, 2001’s Watching Angels Mend and 2003’s Distant Light - have collectively sold more than 500000 copies and following the release of each album he has been awarded an ARIA for Best Male Artist (2000, 2001, 2003). 2000 also saw him win an ARIA for Best New Talent. But Lloyd is more than an accomplished album artist with a penchant for experimentation and an intuitive gift for melody: his now iconic 2001 single, “Amazing” was not only voted Song of the Year in the prestigious, listener voted Triple J Hottest 100 poll in 2001 - it also secured an APRA Award (the songwriters awards) in 2002 for Song of the Year and was also the most played song on Australian radio that same year!
Given such heady success it’s no surprise Lloyd spent most of 2004 out of the spotlight, savouring the time he could now spend with his new-born son, Jake and his wife of three years, Amelia.

@scott - I'm pretty sure it's because the person in charge of his page (him or the label) has chosen to publish that photo instead of the deserving user-voted photo. Annoying.

Why when one scrobbles any Alex song the pic of Alex is the cover of his latest album? The said pic hasn't even got any votes, but other actual pics have! I thought last.fm didn't do album covers as artists pics!!
