Tik Tok Viral Stars - Alex Warren - "Ordinary"

The ultimate underdog story. Homeless at 18 after losing his father to cancer and being kicked out by his alcoholic mother. Co-founded the Hype House with now-wife Kouvr. Nobody cared about his music until he filmed himself singing on a toilet on a burner account (10M views). Wrote "Ordinary" for Kouvr, everyone said it wasn't a single, pushed it anyway. Synced to Love Is Blind, topped Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks, became longest-running #1 UK Singles Chart of the 2020s. Grammy-nominated. Garrett's wrap-up: "Sometimes ordinary is the most extraordinary thing you can achieve."
