Today we’d like to introduce you to Lexie Martin.
Hi Lexie, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story begins out on Long Island with three years old me wishing to be a Barney kid. I knew from a very young age that I was a performer and entertainer. What was then nurtured and developed was my passion for music. As a kid, I’d sing everywhere. There are plenty of incriminating videos thanks to my sweet parents. When I was around eight, I started taking singing, piano and acting lessons and began writing songs. After graduating with a BA in musical theatre from American University, I moved out here to Los Angeles in 2018. Since my arrival to the city of angels, I’ve been able to be in musicals, release my own music, shoot music videos and curate my own shows. I’m a 4’10” New Yorker with a lot to say about body positivity, empowerment, mental health awareness, and self-love. Being able to express these ideals in my music has been very fulfilling. It has been absolutely incredible and I look forward to the next phase of this journey. For now, I’m promoting my newest single “SUPERPOWER” and will be releasing a music video for it in the coming year.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not always been a smooth road. Things worth fighting for do not come to you easily. I’ve struggled emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially along the way. I’ve had the pleasure of working with incredible talent, but also had the displeasure of working with people who will take advantage of new artists. Always keep your wits about you. I’ve had mornings where it feels impossible and your dreams are too far away. In those moments, charging forward can be the most difficult task in the world, but you must do it. Future-you will thank you.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am an actress, singer/songwriter, and voiceover artist. I am best known for my music and my TikTok (@iamlexiemartin). TikTok is actually something I recently got into in the past year and was able to gain a following from posting my dance videos. I am very proud that my videos have inspired my viewers to pursue their passions and love themselves at any size. Self-love is such an important message that I love to share with viewers and listeners. What sets me apart from others is how I connect with others. I write music to be with the listener on their best day and their worst day. I make TikToks to remind viewers that their happiness has immeasurable value. I am here for you, to celebrate you, to hug you, to comfort you, to laugh with you, to be unapologetically joyous with you.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned along the way is to trust my gut. Do not second-guess yourself. If you get a bad vibe, that’s your intuition speaking and you need to listen. If you have a good feeling, pursue it and follow through. Your perceptivity is there for a reason and is there to help you.
