He grew up in and around the city of London, in Muswell Hill, and attended first St. Anthony's school on Arkwright road, where Alex went to school, and then Highgate School, an expensive public school, with John Hassall, former bassist of The Libertines and frontman of Yeti. He currently resides in the Hampstead Heath area. He went on to form Razorlight with Carl Dalemo, Christian Smith Pancorvo (Later exchanged for Andy Burrows) and Björn Ågren. After a string of top twenty hits including "Golden Touch", their debut album Up All Night charted at number 3 in the UK, and stop-gap single "Somewhere Else" just missed out on the number 1 spot. Their self-titled follow-up album was released July 17, 2006, and debuted at number 1 in the UK album chart, giving the band their first release to top the chart. Johnny and Razorlight scored their first UK number 1 with "America" on the 8th of October '06.
