History

Early History

Roy English began his musical career under his birth name as a member of the band Dead Letter Diaries. In 2006, Roy became one of the founding members of the American indie-rock band Eye Alaska, which also included Cameron Trowbridge, Christopher Osegueda, Chase Kensrue, and Han Ko. The baned toured the United States from 2007 – 2011, releasing their EP Yellow & Elephant and their 2009 album Genesis Underground, before disbanding.[3]

In 2012, contemplating leaving his career in music, a chance introduction to Jeff Bhasker led to the GRAMMY award-winning producer altering English’s path forever.[2] Becoming a mentor, Bhasker helped English shape his songwriting and production skills.[4]

Collaborations

In 2014, alongside S1 and Rick Nowels, English lent his production talents to Lana Del Rey for her December 23, 2014 single “I Can Fly” which was featured in Tim Burton’s movie Big Eyes the same year.

After establishing himself as a solo artist with his January 22, 2015 single “Julianne,”[5] English gained attention by writing and singing on the Swedish DJ Alesso’s single "Cool."[6] Released February 13, 2015 on BBC Radio 1, “Cool” peaked at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart and number 3 on the UK Dance Chart. The track also made it to number 14 on Billboard’s US Dance/Electronic Songs charts and number 2 on both Billboard’s US Dance Club Songs and Dance/Mix Show Airplay.[7]

Immediately after, English made "Tongue Tied July” with Michael Brun.

I'm Not Here Pt. 1

On April 26, 2016, English released his EP I’m Not Here Pt. 1, which introduced three new songs to his catalogue: "Wasted Youth", "Can't Lie" and "Oxy."
