Lex James is a dynamic vocalist, model, and actress whose path to the spotlight began behind the scenes. Starting as a music intern, she quickly climbed the ranks—using her behind-the-curtain experience as a launchpad to step into the spotlight. Over the years, she’s performed with icons like Sia, Stevie Wonder, and John Legend, and brought her powerhouse vocals to stages around the world.
Raised on Chicago’s South Side, Lex’s love for performance started early. From dance classes and school musicals to singing the national anthem at high school games, she was always drawn to the stage. While studying finance at Boston University, she joined an a cappella group and had a pivotal moment performing at New York’s Beacon Theatre, where her passion for music was solidified.
After moving to Los Angeles in 2018, Lex worked at Live Nation/Lafitte Management with artists like Pharrell Williams and Charlie Puth, and later at ICM Partners (now CAA) under Robert Gibbs, agent to H.E.R. and Ari Lennox. Though the industry experience was valuable, it confirmed her true calling: performing.
Lex has since toured internationally, appeared on major networks including the NFL, ABC, BET, and CBS, and performed at the GRAMMYs, BET Awards, and other high-profile events.
In 2023, Lex released her debut EP, Pathway to Joy, featuring tracks like “Love Me Better” and “Inner Beauty”—a project rooted in self-love, growth, and healing.
