Lex Leosis
Known for her dynamic flows, aggressive stage presence and elaborate story telling, Lex Leosis is a name you don’t forget. With a unique gravely vocal delivery, acrobatic flows, and a mastery of her instrumentation, Lex breathes life into contemporary Hip-Hop and mesmerizes with her rapping abilities. Setting herself uniquely apart by holding space for various causes and using her platform to support other women and non-binary artists and creatives, Lex is not afraid to give props where it’s due. She’s got an attack in her flow, juxtaposed with a finesse in her lyricism and a hunger in her vocal tone. Her family gave her traditions, Toronto shaped her, and California helped form her sound.
Lex spent 2017 -2019 devoting herself to Canadian rap group powerhouse, The Sorority. The group made waves with a 2016 International Women’s Day Cypher, and went on to release a debut album and toured extensively, sharing stages with artist like Miguel, Joey Badass & Snoop Dogg. After the group disbanded in 2019, Lex lead 2020 with her debut full length, Mythologies, a darker trap heavy project that allowed her to explore her Greek roots and family history. Despite a derailed album release plan due to COVID-19, she followed the project up with summer bop, Pull Up, and the rap/house collaboration, Swerve, with DJ Cazztek released under Armin Van Buuren’s label, Armada.
Lex found opportunity and inspiration during COVID lockdown establishing a new sound, taking control of her artistry by learning keys, bass and taking vocal lessons. She formed a team of creatives around her and using her tools, experience and community, developed her quintessential Lex Leosis sound with smooth west coast vibey instrumentation under melodious hooks and biting hip hop verses. All this culminated with her 2021 EP, Terracotta. Searching for an outlet to continue to rap bars, Lex began daily duets on Tiktok and has amassed millions of views on her videos and has drawn the attention of Tiktok Canada and numerous artists from The Arkells to K-Flay.
She toured extensively in late 2021 and through 2022 opening for Snotty Nose Rez Kids on their Life After tour with over 40 shows across North America. She rounded out 2022 with multiple collaborative music projects, one called 2WINS with former The Sorority member, Keysha Freshh, and a powerhouse collection of rappers and producers all who met through Tiktok including Lex Bratcher, Alexander Lewis and Oh Gosh Leotus. Lex is back in the studio working on her next release set for winter 2024.
