Alex Sheppard is a 20 year old singer songwriter, who has been spinning her tales of drunken Cinderellas, snowman love affairs and early morning stumbles through London since her first gig when she was 15. She has drawn comparisons with the likes of Regina Spektor and Jamie T but if you compare her to Kate Nash you are clearly a fool.
