In a candid conversation with WWETV, Lex shared her artistic journey rooted in Riverside, South Carolina, and how her upbringing helped shape her creative identity.Growing up in a community rich with local legends, Lex was surrounded by inspiration. But it wasn’t until she recognized her own talent — and with encouragement from her grandmother — that she began taking her music seriously. “I realized I was actually good at it,” she said, reflecting on the moment she committed to her craft.Her debut EP, Buildings of the Benefit, is a testament to that growth, symbolizing the layers of her experience and transformation. Lex also spoke on her powerful track “Respectfully”, a statement of reclaiming space and asserting self-worth in an industry that often overlooks female and LGBT artists.

“I felt like I was slept on,” she noted. “I used to call myself a female Drake.” These quotes encapsulate her confidence and melodic, lyrical versatility.

As an openly LGBT artist, Lex champions the need for representation and flexibility in the creative process, striving to build a lane that’s uniquely her own.
