Albert Hammond Jr. Biography

Albert Hammond Jr. was born 9 April 1980 in Los Angeles and is a musician and member of the rock band The Strokes.
The son of songwriter Albert Hammond Albert Jr. was sent to the elite boarding school Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland at the age of 13. While there he met Julian Casablancas who would go on to be a fellow band member.
In 1998 Albert met up with Julian in New York City and together they formed a band with Julian's former schoolmates: Nick Valensi Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti.
The Strokes today are a successful band arguably because of their ability to produce albums of great sound and lyrics while overcoming the 'wealthy heirs' stigma.
Albert is currently engaged to Catherine Pierce one-half of the folk singing group The Pierces. His trademark is wearing formal suits usually a different one for each show. Albert is usually seen playing an olympian white Fender Stratocaster or bandmate Nick Valensi's Les Paul Jr. He is usually associated with the rhythm guitar portion of the majority of Strokes songs and most solos are played by Valensi. The solos in which Albert does play are Last Nite Trying Your Luck Take It Or Leave It Under Control The End Has No End Ize Of The World and Vision Of Division. His solos tend to focus largely on more emotional bluesy-type melodical work and the guitar tends to have a cleaner softer tone in comparison to Valensi's (with a noteable exception found in Vision Of Division). He often holds the guitar in a high horizontal position similar to Bob Dylan.
