The journey behind the sound.

Before Lexx had a name, there was a moment. A melody on television. A walk home from school. And a young boy discovering he could sing.

About me

Discovery

Around the early 2000s, on the way home from school, Lexx saw Wande Coal performing on television at the National Theatre in Lagos. The melody stayed with him. He went home and tried to recreate it. The more he tried, the more he realised something that would change the direction of his life:

He could actually sing.

That moment became the beginning of Lexx’s musical journey — and Wande Coal remains his biggest influence to this day.

The Beginning

Lexx’s early development was built through repetition.

Choir practice. Writing songs. Performing whenever the opportunity came. Learning from other singers. Watching vocal-development videos online. Learning by doing.

There was no single classroom that taught him how to become Lexx. His sound developed through experience, experimentation and the people around him.

Finding the voice

Growth

From 2013 to 2018, Lexx studied Accounting at Obafemi Awolowo University. But outside the classroom, music was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

He performed at university shows, developed his live presence and began finding audiences beyond the people who already knew him. One performance became particularly memorable: the OAU Got Talent competition, where Lexx performed his original song “Tomike.”

Around 2016, Lexx became associated with Armani Music. By 2018, after leaving university, he had stepped into independence.

University also placed Lexx in musical spaces alongside artists who would go on to become major names in Nigerian music.

Career

Before original releases became the centre of the story, Lexx spent years reinterpreting songs he admired. He covered artists including Oxlade, Gyakie, Joeboy, Omah Lay, Crayon and Boy Spice. And in doing so, he learned one of the hardest things an artist can learn:

How to sound like yourself.

The covers gave him a place to experiment with tone, phrasing, emotion and performance. Eventually, they stopped being simply covers. They became part of the training.

The covers

Lexx is now building the next stage of his career from the United Kingdom. The move has opened the possibility of wider audiences, greater opportunities and new musical connections. It is also bringing him closer to a personal ambition that has stayed with him:

Performing at The O2 Arena.

For Lexx, the UK isn’t the end point. It’s the next platform.
