Born Sherilyn Jones, Luxi grew up in Dallas , TX , and has been rapping since 1995. She developed her style by blending electro and hiphop with wordplay and punch lines. Growing up, Luxi would go to concerts and 'meet and greets' throughout her hometown in hopes of catching a glimpse of her favorite artists. She remembers telling everyone about her lyrical talent and passing out demos to label executives and celebrities. Hanging out at the mall is where she met other hip hop emcees, and started collaborating and making songs. Being around different artist helped her to find a style and develop her alias, Luxi in which is short for luxury meaning the best.
Growing up in Oak Cliff a place she calls Da Cliff and honors often in her songs is where Luxi‘s style was originated, but hanging out down town at The Lighthouse, The Bomb Factory, and Dread N Ire, Luxi remembers the vibes and passion she felt and knew she would be representing hip hop the rest of her life.
In 2008 Luxi teamed with her crew ELZE. The four developed an original sound and created creative music projects, connecting them together. Before meeting and teaming up the other members Luxi collaborated with Leon The Professional and after hearing each others music online they instantly began collaborating and recording mix tape singles. Shortly after is when Luxi was introduced to DJ Love and Librado Biasca.
Luxi's style has a southern twist but with a lot of hip hop flavor. Her topics are different than that of most female rappers as she dedicates her flow to focus on life situations from good to bad, but at the same time she adds comical occurrences, wordplay and a lot of punch lines. She dedicates her sound to dictate real emceeing. Her lyrics are sharp and precise as she adds this extra touch to her tracks that shows on the over all project.
