From Ballerina to Breaking Ground in Pop

Alexis Lucena, also known as LEXXE, is a multidisciplinary artist from Long Island, New York. Starting with dance, she trained at the esteemed Seiskaya Ballet Academy in Stony Brook, making stops at Ellison Ballet, The Rock School and American Ballet Theatre programs along the way. A classical music lover, LEXXE simultaneously played the French Horn for 11 years. She went on to receive a BFA in dance from the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance. While there she performed in works by Adam Barruch, Gregory Dolbashian, Stephanie Tooman and others. After graduation she shifted gears to fulfill her missing love for music and thus the moniker LEXXE was born. After submitting to COMPANY XIV’s Director Austin McCormick LEXXE officially joined the company as a singer/dancer in January 2018. She has performed in Cinderella, Variété, Nutcracker Rouge, Queen Of Hearts and Seven Sins which she most recently led as The Devil. She most recently was featured as a classical dancer in the Jon Chu directed In The Heights, with choreography by Ebony Williams. She is currently finishing an album, and serving as creative director and choreographer for a number of music video projects of her own. She is a frequent NYC nightlife performer and frequently sings in clubs such as The Manderley Bar and House of Yes, as well as a curator and tastemaker for events. As a musician her music rings true to those who dare to embrace the shadows, as well as a celebration of queer joy and “witchy disco” as she calls it. She has been featured in Galore!, LADYGUNN, BILLBOARD, Time OUT NY, Broadway World, The Build Series, GLAAD, EARMILK,  and Apple Music Radio. This fall she will release her second EP, the follow up to the pandemic born ‘Meet Me In The Shadows’,.
