Lexa Gates’ sound moves intuitively, emerging as part of New York’s evolving musical landscape and shaped by instinct and individuality. She started young and kept building over time, letting her voice develop naturally through repetition and exploration, with music that carries a raw, conversational energy rooted in everyday life.

Earlier moments like the Union Square glass-box project showed how presentation and music exist as one expression rather than separate ideas. With 'I Am' set to release January 16, this moment feels more focused while still open to unpredictability on a sonic level.

By allowing her growth to unfold in public, she lets the work evolve without losing its core, keeping listeners invested in where she goes next.
