Q. Say I wasn't your cousin and I didn't know you Lex? Tell me who
is You both are?
A Native of Columbia SC . I got serious about music when I moved to
Charlotte. Did several shows at Scorpios and 360 Lounge and competed in
a coast to coast live competition there as well. Released my first project in
March 2020. Music has been my outlet forever. And being surrounded by
so much talent over the years it just flowed for me. I have my own lane but
I’m well versed in all lanes.I just want to make good music and vibe.

you guys ever done any features together?
A.Who Creme naw we not an item but we have some pretty dope projects

We do have one piece we have already released on YouTube visuals.
Coming soon for a cover of the WAP. Stay tuned I mag cuff her by the fall

____________________________
Q. Are your features based off of like real life situations between 2 lovers or
just regular duets between 2 artist?
A.We plan to incorporate both sides of the spectrum but with all our music
we are just having fun. Collectively these are two amazing minds coming
to life.
___________________________
Q. Would you guys consider your relationship and public image to be more
like Beyonce & Jay Z or Kin and Kanye, and why?
A.Definitely potential for a modern day Bey and Jay but if we were Kim and
Kanye she is definitely Kanye lol.

Q. The other day I was strolling on facebook and I saw this post about a
new song entitled "Only Fans Affair. Tell me more about that?
A.That wasn’t a song it was actually an event I did in Moncks Corner
opening up for Kwik Stakks and Ladi Rae both dope artists on the rise as
well good vibes and great networking.
___________________________
Q. So on another note, with you both being public figures and you know
fans/groupies, right? How do you guys deal with that aspect of the
business?
A.Fans are necessary of course but support is where the legacy begins. I
deal with all supporters as just that support I thank them and make it my
duty to keep some good content coming to keep em as supports.
Q. Let's talk about being LGBTQ in a mostly straight industry. How has
being LGBTQ hurt or elevated your career?
A. It hurts just as much as anything else in most instances you have to be
someone you aren’t to appeal to all sides. I like to think if you really listen to
my music u will give either way because I make music based on emotions
and experiences. I am proud of the LGBTQ community for standing and
stepping out in the music industry just because we like what we like
doesn’t mean we don’t experience or that we aren’t relatable. So I can’t say
that our community hasn’t elevated my career either.
___________________________
Q. So speaking of the LGBTQ factor right?. How do you guys use your
platforms to promote social acceptability amongst the LGBTQ community?
A.I promote being you and loving you. In this platform you can be you
unapologetically. But I use that outside my platform as well.
Q. So I ask all my body LGBTQ promoters this question? Frank Ocean or
NasX? Why?
A. Definitely Frank Ocean he is sincere with his in my opinion. I’m not into
clout chasers so Nas X will never be my cup of tea until he humbles
himself.
