About

Albert Hammond Jr. (born April 9, 1980) is an American musician who is a member of the rock band the Strokes. He is best known for his role as the guitarist and occasional keyboard player and backing vocalist for the band. Hammond has released extensive solo work, including five solo albums.

Born in Los Angeles, Hammond is a first-generation American, his father the songwriter Albert Hammond being of British-Gibraltarian descent, and his mother being of Argentine descent. He attended the same Swiss boarding school as his bandmate Julian Casablancas, where the two became friends. He moved to New York City in 1998 and attended New York University for a year and a half.

Casablancas invited Hammond to join the Strokes in 1999, being the last member to join the band. He plays rhythm guitar on most songs, and has some songwriting credits on the more instrumental pieces. Hammond is passionate about fashion and is known for wearing a three-piece suit on tour. Casablancas credits him for influencing the band's style. In 2009, he released a line of men's suits.

In 2006, Hammond released his debut solo album Yours to Keep, and followed up with ¿Cómo Te Llama? in 2008. Since then, he has released the 2013 EP AHJ, and the albums Momentary Masters, Francis Trouble, and Melodies on Hiatus in 2015, 2018, and 2023 respectively.
