Hailing from Lobatse, the talented DJ has been turning heads since 2006, when he first started experimenting with deejaying using a laptop. Lex B’s music career started in Lobatse, where he laid the foundation of his deejaying journey and built his early experience in the industry. “I want my fans to feel joy, unity, and authenticity through my music,” Lex B says, explaining his approach to deejaying in an interview with Arts&Culture. His sound is a fusion of deep and soulful house, classic house, Hip-Hop, R&B, Kwaito, and more, making him a versatile DJ who can adapt to any crowd or environment. Lex B’s big break came when he met DJ Sghubu, who introduced him to professional DJ decks, marking a turning point in his growth. “I was influenced by DJ Mox, DJ Sono, and DJ Tallied, whose work inspired me to take deejaying seriously,” he recalls. One of his most memorable gigs was at an establishment in Mahikeng, South Africa, where the crowd truly appreciated his mixing style.
“The energy and positive feedback made it a very special and affirming experience,” he says.
