Leosis

Alexandria Leosis, better known as Lex Leosis, is a Greek Canadian rapper and spoken word artist who uses her versatile background to create tracks laced with metaphors and clever wordplay. Inspired by her little brother to enjoy every minute of life, Lex avoids rapping about her experiences with ghettos, gang violence, guns and drugs to focus on creating music that speaks for those without a voice. Lex started writing poetry with an unrelenting ow at age 16. A year later she was encouraged her to put her words to a beat and began creating tracks inspired by the ow and wordplay of a group called Tribe Called Quest. Lex has developed her own writing style creating tacks that combine one-liners from her collection of notebooks. When everyone is sleeping she nds private spaces like closets or roof tops where her lyrics come to life. Lexs music has also been brought to life at venues like The Marsh, Oakland School of the Arts, The Central Cafe, University of Toronto, Ontario Education Leadership Centre, The Drake Hotel and UC Berkley. She is constantly fueled by the power of Hip Hop and its ability to bring people together despite race and gender. Lex has collaborated with Punk Rap Princess, Sir Darkseid, Da Kid Gowie, RSonic, The Messengers, Nobodies Home, Von Stella and Jillian Baker.
