Lexu$ - NEW TRACK ON MY PAGE NOW!!!!!!

We're not playin around no more!! Lexi Lex Pon Dex

About Me


Born a Capricorn to US and UK parents, Lexu$ was literally thrown into Soul & Hip Hop from both sides of the Atlantic at birth. It's clear to see where his unique flow and sound are derived from, and refreshing to see how he manages to put everyday experiences of life into crafty, poetic, harmonized rhymes that any true wordsworth or poet would be proud of.
Writing began early on with the love of music in the form of poetry, but by the time he'd left high school at the age of 16 college and the guise of training for a "REAL" job took over, after 4 long years of succesful training as a chef, Lexu$ knew that he needed and wanted to get back to his music. This didn't go down at all well with so called friends and family who laughed at the propostorous idea. With the support of his younger sister Lex decided to jus go for it, or forever regret not giving it a shot..
To cut a long story short, after a year of media training, Lex went on to present his own show on local community radio, then the big time came over the next 3 years as he secured residencys as a resident dj in many big nighclubs and venues within the east of the country...He fast seemed to be becoming a very sought after comodity!
He's been spinning in and around East Anglia since 1999 alongside DJ Kante$. They started out at ICR fm in Ipswich, then went on to many bars & private functions/launch partys, which later extended to BBC Radio and many local club and bar residencies, plus many guest spots for promotions such as Atlantic Records, Virgin Records, Garage Nation, Red, Harmony, R&B Nation, KSK2, Venom, Diamond, Twice as Nice, Channel U, 1Xtra, Missile Sound, Phunky, Nuts Magazine Nites, FHM High Street Honeys, Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi and many, many more.
The duo have DJ'd alongside greats such as Trevor Nelson, Tim Westwood, Heartless Crew, Sticky, Marcus Nasty, Stone Love, David Roddigan, Masterstepz, EZ, Sticky, Sparkie & Quickdraw, Jaimeson, Rossi B & Luca, Cameo, The Dreem Teem, Roll Deep, Ruff Squad, Aftershock Camp, Pay As You Go, Femme Fatal, MC Creed, Kie, Chris Goldfinger, Missile Sound, Daddy Turbo, Entertainment Family, G Child, Rampage, Swerve, PSG, Jason Kaye, Norris Da Boss, Hermit, Mike RuffCut Lloyd, Hotsound, Rory K, Sasha Brooks, DT, SLK, Fire Camp, Dr.Psycho, Firin Squad & Ronnie Herel.
Plus warmed up for artistes such as Fatman Scoop, Lemar, Nate James, 2Play, Ladies in Question, MVP, D-Double-E, Bruza, Digga, Chaka Demis & Pliers, Nathan, Fund*mental 03, JME, Tinchy Strider, Maxwell D, Mitchell Bros, Mr.Wong, Pikey Esq, Kelle Le Roc, Romeo, Lisa Maffia, Richard Blackwood, Daniel Beddingfield, Soundbwoy, Jamesy P, Leathal Bizzle, Monroe, Raghav, The Honeyz & Shola Ama, Outlaw Candy, H20, YT and Phats & Small.
Over the 7 years the two spun at various clubs accross the region including our current residencys @Club Quilt : Ipswich and Rocco's / Mercy : Norwich plus...
Club Ghetto : Zante-Greece/ Mercy : Norwich/ Hippodrome : Colchester Route : Colchester/ Lava & Ignite : Norwich/ Edwards : Ipswich/ Fire : Ipswich/ Liquid : Ipswich/ Yates's : Ipswich Pals : Ipswich/ Edwards : Ipswich/ Pulse & Vogue : Stevenage/ Ruby Blue : Leicester Square, London/ Mayday festival : Alexandra Park, Ipswich/ Bar B : Cambridge/ Attica : London/ Distinction : Ipswich/ Curve Bar : Ipswich/ Kartouche : Ipswich/ Caribbean Club : Ipswich/
After DJing took off well, next on Lex's agenda he decide to apply for the BBC, to work in Radio, which was a success. After a year within that career he felt it was music or nothing, so he decided to move on and try to search for success within his life long desired career.
Music is now his main focus, and his work has never been so strong or of such a high standard. It's literally a way of life for this young urbanite who hails from the East of England from the little known town of Ipswich. His home of IP1 may be little known but Lex is firm set on hitting the BIG time and truly putting his place on the musical map.
Collectivley he's part of a musical group of Artistes called The V.I.P. Family, otherwise known as "The Versatile Intelligent People". This young group of talent consists of a number of lyricists, DJ's and singers who all hail from Ipswich. It's a country thang ;) so make sure you're backing them when they hit the top and go bang.
Lex is commited to pushin the boundarys of UK music, and take his own twist of talent worldwide in a bid to fly the flag prudly and positivly. He is truly in it for the love of the music and feels that if his tunes can make just one person dance, be inspired or groove then its all worth the while and "worth the weight".

::: Press & Reviews :::

:: May Day: Music in The Park: Ipswich: 2008

Chris Woods: U2R Media & Design:

"Sometimes there's nothing more valuable than experience and understanding of what a crowd wants and this can only come from entertainers that make it their living in clubs and events. Lexu$, Kante$ and the V.I.P. rocked the stage like they owned it, which they did. Lexu$ fired up the crowd like only he could and represented the highlight of the Mayday Urban Stage of 2008".

:: May Day: Music in The Park: Ipswich: 2007

Chris Woods: U2R Media & Design:

"There is no doubt that LEXU$ and the VIP FAMILY stole the show, why LEXU$ hasn't taken things beyond Ipswich i'll never know. The banter between him and KANTE$ flowed, with Kante$ taking a bigger role on stage than ever before. BLUE EYED PAPI must have won the award for most colourfully dressed in the park and wore pink with courage (they say real men love pink!). After lighting up the stage, the VIP Family traded places with DIGGA who continues to put his all into his performance"...

:: May Day: Music in The Park: Ipswich: 2006

Chris Woods: U2R Media & Design:

"Lexu$ deserves to make a transition into the mainstream in the same way that Nate James has, showing great stage skills, the ability to rock the crowd and communicate with them and to perform his own material with confidence. Lexu$ is a star in the making, no question. The R'n'B club scene in Ipswich has been dominated by Lexu$ and Kante$ with Kante$ opening wearing a truly massive Afro, strutting the stage before he stepped back behind the decks, a place i'm sure he feels more comfortable."

Influences: Life, Love, Happiness, Pain & Joy and Tears - Everyday experiences and feelings.

Sounds Like: Me! Unique flows. harmonies and lyrics ;) HipHop - R&B with a tinge of Soul!

Early influences can be best described as RUN DMC, Michael Jackson, LL Cool J and Bobby Brown, all the way back to The Chi-lites, Marvin Gaye and The infamous Sugar Hill Gang Inspirations such as Slick Rick, Soul II Soul and Blak Twang are top of his UK peers he most admires. Asher D, Megaman, Nate James, Jay Z, Diddy and The Lost Boyz take credit truly as current modern day artists who really gave him the urge to step up his game and take that step to take his music seriously and to the next level....
