Alice Merton is a German-Canadian-English singer and songwriter who gained international prominence with her hit single "No Roots" in 2016. Born on September 13, 1993, in Frankfurt, Germany, Merton's music career began to take shape after she studied at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim, where she met her future manager and formed her own record label, Paper Plane Records International. Her debut single "No Roots" was an instant success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries and earning multi-platinum status. The song reflected her feelings of dislocation having moved frequently during her childhood.
