What's On: History, theatre and music on the way in Waterford
Alex Gough is an innovative Irish artist blending elements of hip-hop, pop and electronic music to create a unique and forward-thinking sound.
Hailing from Waterford, Gough is not only a talented drummer and producer but also a compelling vocalist.
His music is characterised by its rhythmic complexity and his genre-defying compositions, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences from jazz legends and contemporary rap to alternative electronic music.
Gough has quickly gained recognition in the Irish music scene and beyond, earning critical acclaim for his EP “80%” and singles such as “Dear SJ” that showcase his distinct musical vision, as well praise for his raw talent and unfiltered creativity, millions of streams across streaming platforms, high profile syncs on the BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s ‘Normal People’, Fortnite and TV in the US and UK.
