Alex Nobile is a Los Angeles-based songwriter, topliner and session vocalist who works entirely behind the scenes, writing for other artists rather than releasing music under her own name. Her commercial high point to date is a co-write on TOMORROW X TOGETHER's “Dance With You,” a track from an album that hit number one on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, but her most sustained public thread is a multi-year co-writing partnership with Dutch Melrose, spanning three of his released singles between 2023 and 2025.
Commercial writer and composer credits attached to released recordings, including Genius, Apple Music and Shazam databases, consistently spell her professional name Alex Nobile. That spelling appears on every itemized song credit found: Dutch Melrose's “Honey” (2023), “FORGET YOU” (2025) and “MARIETTE” (2025), TXT's “Dance With You” (2025), tracks from Cassadee Pope's Hereditary (2024), and earlier 2022 session credits for Emlyn and NERIAH.
The single exception is the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance's own alumni page, which describes Dutch Melrose's (Josh Harms's) “creative partnership with fellow ICMP alumna, Alex Noble.” Given the volume and consistency of commercial credit documentation, “Alex Nobile” is treated as the canonical professional spelling here, with ICMP's “Noble” standing as an unreconciled variant, whether a transcription slip or an informal UK academic rendering.
ICMP's phrasing also identifies her as a woman (“fellow ICMP alumna”), which is consistent with the first-person account in her own professional profile. No public source discloses an exact date of birth. Her own account of writing her first song at 13 “about 10 years ago,” given in a profile last meaningfully active around 2024, would place her in her mid-to-late twenties as of 2026, but this is an inference rather than a confirmed figure.
Alex Nobile's account of her own career path, given in a first-person Q&A on the session-marketplace platform SoundBetter, describes an unusually early and self-directed start. She wrote her first song at 13 in the Boston area and was “picked up by a production company,” beginning demo-vocal and songwriting sessions at Sanctum Sounds Recording (Serenity West), a studio in Boston's financial district, an arrangement she continued until she was 18.
At 18 or 19 she moved alone to London for roughly a year to focus on songwriting. That window is the most plausible period during which she would have connected with ICMP, whose BA Songwriting program is built for what the school calls “ambitious writer-producers” seeking industry connections, and it lines up with ICMP's own description of her as a fellow alumna of Dutch Melrose. No independent, non-ICMP source specifies which program or graduation year she attended.
She then returned to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music. While a student there, she started her own jingle-writing company and used its proceeds to fund repeated trips to Los Angeles for professional songwriting sessions, effectively self-financing her entry into the commercial writing market before she had major placements to show for it. About a year later she relocated to Los Angeles permanently, which she describes as bringing her career “to now.”
That path, teenage studio apprenticeship, international relocation, formal college training paired with a self-started commercial writing business, then a move to the industry's commercial hub, is a DIY, self-funded trajectory that predates any of her documented placements.
Alex Nobile does not release music as a solo artist. Searches for a matching artist project under her name return only unrelated same-name acts; her entire public discography is composed of writing, topline and session-vocal credits for other artists' releases. Confirmed credits include two 2022 co-writes for Emlyn (“rapunzel,” “my best friend's ex”) and NERIAH's “Unfinished Business” from the EP HOW DO I GET CLEAN, a 2024 writing credit among more than twenty contributors to Cassadee Pope's rock album Hereditary, three co-writes for Dutch Melrose, and a composer credit on TOMORROW X TOGETHER's “Dance With You,” a HueningKai solo track from The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, a twelve-writer credit that also lists Kella Armitage, Ori Rose and Tommy Driscoll. That album opened at number one on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart and number three on the Billboard 200, with more than 1.4 million first-day sales, making it the most commercially significant record she has a public credit on.
Her own bio also names collaborations with Adam Lambert and Suki Waterhouse, and with producers Ian Kirkpatrick (the hitmaker behind records for Dua Lipa, Britney Spears and Katy Perry), Ali Payami, Robopop and Jonas Jeberg. The Waterhouse and Lambert credits are self-reported only; the publicly published personnel list for Waterhouse's 2024 LP Memoir of a Sparklemuffin does not name her, which may reflect an uncredited demo or pitch session, a different unreleased song, or an incomplete public database, and is treated here as unverified rather than false. Her bio also states that songs she has written have been placed on Netflix, CBS and E!, though no specific sync placement is itemized in any source reviewed.
The most documented recurring collaboration in Alex Nobile's career is with Dutch Melrose, the artist behind MADKID Records. She is credited as co-writer on three of his singles: “Honey” (2023), “FORGET YOU” (2025, produced by Dutch Melrose and PRETTY HAVØC) and “MARIETTE” (2025, produced by Diamond Pistols, co-written with Christian M. Dold). Dutch Melrose's catalog runs well past 40 songs, so these three credits represent a specific, recurring collaboration rather than his entire writing circle.
ICMP's alumni feature on Dutch Melrose describes an ongoing “creative partnership” with her that it frames as continuing into 2026, when he returned to ICMP London for a masterclass visit. The characterization of a multi-year, still-active partnership, rather than a single session, is consistent with the three-year spread of the songs themselves, from 2023's “Honey” through 2025's “MARIETTE.”
Notably, Alex Nobile does not appear on MADKID Records' own team page, which lists only Joshua Harms as CEO/Founder and Benjamin Shubert as Creative Director. Her relationship to the label is as an outside collaborator credited song by song, not as label staff or a formally announced roster member.
Alex Nobile's professional footprint is built around freelance session and topline work, marketed through a SoundBetter marketplace listing rather than a fan-facing artist page. Her profile there advertises direct commissioned work: “Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.” The listing cites 217 client reviews and 75 repeat clients, a substantial recurring client base for a freelance marketplace profile.
Her credits reference collaborators and co-writers affiliated with Universal Music Group, Warner Chappell and Sony/ATV, indicating she has worked within or alongside these major publishing houses, though it is not confirmed whether she personally holds a direct publishing deal with any of them versus working session to session as an independent writer. Her writing credit on TXT's “Dance With You” places her inside the K-pop industry's international songwriting-camp pipeline, a competitive route many Western topliners pursue through major-label song camps, and one of the more commercially significant outcomes documented in her catalog given the album's chart performance.
Her entrepreneurial history predates any of this: while at Berklee, she ran her own jingle-writing company specifically to self-fund cross-country trips between Boston and Los Angeles for songwriting sessions, an early example of bootstrapped career-building well before major placements arrived.
The only substantive first-person material available on Alex Nobile is her SoundBetter Q&A profile, a platform-prompted set of questions with first-person answers rather than a traditional press interview. In it she describes her work as blending “lyrics, topline, and even writing something from scratch,” and frames her approach to clients around openness and reassurance: “I am overtly friendly and open. I want to do everything and anything possible to make you feel as confident as possible that you are going to leave the experience with something you absolutely love.”
No traditional music-press interview, feature or profile specifically about her has been published. She has not been the subject of a standalone feature from outlets that have covered Dutch Melrose directly, and ICMP, which has produced individual alumni success stories for other former students, has not produced one for her; she appears only as a supporting mention inside Dutch Melrose's own feature. No verified personal social media account (Instagram, TikTok or X) can be confidently attributed to her; her professional presence is concentrated on SoundBetter rather than fan-facing platforms, which is consistent with her role as a behind-the-scenes writer rather than a public artist who cultivates an audience directly.
Because Alex Nobile keeps an unusually low public profile relative to her placements, almost everything known about her disposition comes from that single SoundBetter Q&A. Her tone there is informal and enthusiastic, marked by exclamation points and asides like “Ahhhh my career path has been an absolute crazy one.” She positions herself as a hybrid writer-vocalist rather than a narrow topliner, comfortable moving between pure lyric work, melodic topline writing and full song construction depending on what a client needs.
Her origin story, moving alone to London as a teenager, then self-financing a commuter songwriting career via her own jingle business, suggests a self-directed, entrepreneurial temperament that predates her more visible placements. The scale of her repeat-client base on SoundBetter (75 of 217 reviewers) points to a working writer with a durable reputation inside the session-songwriting economy, even without a public artist persona to match it.
Yes. Every commercial songwriting and composer credit attached to a released recording, across Genius, Apple Music and Shazam, spells her name “Alex Nobile.” ICMP's own alumni page is the only source using “Alex Noble,” describing her as Dutch Melrose's “fellow ICMP alumna” and ongoing creative partner. The discrepancy between the two spellings has not been explained by either party.
No. She works exclusively as a behind-the-scenes songwriter, topliner and session vocalist. No solo artist catalog under her name exists on any streaming platform; her public discography consists entirely of writing and vocal credits on other artists' releases.
Her composer credit on TOMORROW X TOGETHER's “Dance With You,” from the album The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, which opened at number one on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart and number three on the Billboard 200 with more than 1.4 million first-day sales.
She is credited as co-writer on three of his released singles, “Honey” (2023), “FORGET YOU” (2025) and “MARIETTE” (2025). ICMP describes their working relationship as an ongoing, multi-year creative partnership between two ICMP-affiliated writers rather than a one-off session.
No. MADKID Records' own team page lists only Joshua Harms and Benjamin Shubert as staff. Alex Nobile's connection to the label is as an outside collaborator credited on specific Dutch Melrose songs, not as roster talent or label personnel.
