Meet the Artist
                L.E.X
L.E.X (also known as “Mr. Alexis”) is a hip-hop artist, author, poet, DJ and educator from Milwaukee, Wis. While combining all these skills, he’s been a performer for Summerfest, Kids in the Rotunda and the country’s “AmeriCorps Member of the Year” for his service in Wisconsin. Poetry and music were positive outlets for L.E.X as a child in Milwaukee, and he’s dedicated his teaching and music career to showing the youth how powerful it can be for everyone. Touring the schools of the Madison Metropolitan School District, Sun Prairie and Milwaukee Public Schools is always a great experience, and he’s excited to see familiar and new faces at Kids in the Rotunda this season! He wants to show everyone that dreams start young and can continue to grow, just like we do.
