Alexander Wolfe is an English singer-songwriter and musician. ==Early life== Alexander Wolfe (born 24 December 1981) is a musician and songwriter. Born Alexander Gordon de Menthon in Cambridge, he moved to Woolwich in South East London as a child. His parents are Anne de Menthon and James Gordon. On his mother's side he has a Canadian grandmother, Betty Wolfe, and a French grandfather, Count Henri de Menthon. The de Menthon family are one of the oldest families in Europe dating back to the knights of Charlamagne, among their numbers is Saint Bernard de Menthon who was made a saint for rescuing lost travellers from the Alps with the help of his dogs who went on to inherited his name. Alexander's grandfather, Henri de Menthon, died and in his will he left Alexander a Rembrandt lithograph which he later sold to fund the making of his debut album and the beginning of his musical career. His brother is the writer Jamie Scallion. Upon leaving school Alexander formed his first band, 'Taxi', with Jamie Cullum, after a chance encounter in a guitar shop on London's Denmark St. The band enjoyed mild live success and toured with Paul Weller before finally imploding in the summer of 2002 due, partly, to Jamie's pending solo deal with Universal and partly due to musical differences. During this time Alexander's grandmother Betty died. He took her maiden name 'Wolfe' as his own and decided to pursue a solo career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Wolfe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
