Alexis Taylor is a British musician. He is the lead vocalist and keyboardist/guitarist of the band Hot Chip, keyboardist in About Group, and a solo artist in his own right.

Taylor formed Hot Chip with Joe Goddard whilst at secondary school. He studied English at Jesus College, Cambridge from 1999-2002, during which time Hot Chip played a variety of gigs (with various line-ups) at Cambridge's live music venues.

In 2007, Taylor and Hot Chip produced a two-song album, Doubleshaw, as Booji Boy High under the pseudonyms, Georgios Panayiotou and Mother Markzbow. The name Booji Boy comes from the character created by Devo.[1]

After the release of Hot Chip's second album, The Warning, Taylor released his first solo album, Rubbed Out, in 2008.[2] The same year he formed the improvisational quartet, About Group, with Spring Heel Jack's John Coxon, Pat Thomas, and former This Heat drummer Charles Hayward.[3]

A solo EP, Nayim From the Halfway Line, was released on Domino Records in 2012,[4] and in 2014 the same label released the album Await Barbarians.[5]
