He attended Balmain High School (now Sydney Secondary College, Balmain Campus). In 1990 at the age of 15 he was a member of a school rock band that won the 1990 Balmain Battle of the Bands and the 1990 Canterbury high schools Youth Rock competition.
His musical career can be traced all the way back to his teen years when as a 13-year-old upstart, he started playing in pubs with his first band.
After a career in renowned Sydney indie rockers Mother Hubbard, Lloyd went solo in 1997 and has since had a remarkable career which has gathered critical and public attention both in Australia and in the world.

His most remarkable work as of now was the album Watching Angels Mend, which includes the songs "Amazing" and "Green." It was released in 2001 and went double platinum. His third album Distant Light was released in 2003. Three of the songs included on the album made the Australian top 40 singles charts. As of now, Lloyd has released seven studio albums. His three solo albums - 1999's Black Sun 2001's Watching Angels and Cook 2003 is distant light - together have sold more than 500,000 copies.
Recording sessions proper began in early 1998. Halfway through, Lloyd was invited to attend Miles Copeland's legendary songwriting workshop at a medieval French castle. Lloyd was in two minds about going; halfway through his album he didn't want to suddenly be swayed by other people's songwriting methods. Despite his reservations, he attended, and the experience showed him that he'd been working on his own for too long (a year writing and another year recording). He decided to finish the album in Santa Monica, California, with former Psychedelic Fur and now producer Ed Buller (Pulp, Suede).
The end result of all of Lloyd's efforts was Black the Sun, an innovative, highly contemporary album, deftly balancing the songs with musical experimentation. Lloyd supported the album with live performances, determined to display the songs as songs rather than studio creations. A year after its release, Black the Sun was still raising eyebrows, still winning fans, and earned Alex Lloyd a belated Australian Recording Industry Association award for Best Male Artist on the basis of one of the singles, as well as gaining release and glowing reviews outside of Australia. Lloyd returned with his highly awaited second album, Watching Angels Mend, in 2002 along with several singles, including "Green," "Amazing," and "Everybody's Laughing."
