PIPEDOWN! PRESENTS ALEX MASON WSG IVAN RIVERS, AND OLIVIA BORKOSKY

Based in Toronto, Canada, Alex Mason is a singer-songwriter known for his grim baritone, pensive lyrics, and blend of alternative-rock and folk music. Raised in rural Ontario, he absorbed years of music with his mother teaching piano in the basement of his home, but found himself musically as a teenager listening to Elliott Smith, Okkervil River, Tom Waits, and Sufjan Stevens. The result was his first EP “Wistow Lows” released in 2013, and he spent his youth playing bars, clubs, and festivals across the country. In 2015 with the release of his second EP “Jasper”, he embarked on a cross Canada tour by train, developed a following, and eventually moved to Toronto to pursue music more in depth after he graduated.
