Alexander O’Connor, Rex Orange County’s real name, was born on May 4, 1998. According to his zodiac sign, he is a Taurus. He is a native of Hampshire, England’s Grayshott. His ethnicity is British-White, and he is a British national. His father, a seasoned sports photographer named Phil O’Connor, is his father, and Nina is his mother. He listened to Queen, Green Day, and ABBA while he was growing up, which inspired him to actively participate in the school choir.
He also enjoyed listening to classical music as well as indie music. At the Frensham Heights School in Farnham, Surrey, he first began playing music. When he was 16, he started going to the BRIT School, where he studied drumming and was one of four percussionists in his year. Because his primary instrument was rather uncommon, he had a lot of exposure to other people’s projects at school, which he attributes to opening his ears to new music. He will be 24 years old as of 2022.
