Alexandra Savior McDermott (born June 14, 1995)[4] is an American singer-songwriter originally from Portland, Oregon. She first came to public notice at age 17 in 2012 after being publicly lauded by Courtney Love, who saw a video of Savior performing cover songs that were uploaded on YouTube. Shortly after graduating high school in 2013, Savior pursued a music career in Los Angeles, and was signed to Columbia Records later that year, after which she began recording material with producers James Ford and Alex Turner. Her debut studio album, Belladonna of Sadness, was released on April 7, 2017, by Columbia.[6]

After being dropped by Columbia Records in 2019, Savior was signed to Danger Mouse's independent label, 30th Century Records, who released her second studio album, The Archer, on January 10, 2020.[7] The album was met with critical acclaim.[8]
