Lexa Gates

Originally from Queens, New York, Lexa Gates has established herself as a singer, songwriter, rapper and producer. Very early on she wrote and sang, then released her first tracks on SoundCloud in 2019. Self-taught, she often records at home in a DIY studio set up in the basement, and she has developed a direct writing style that naturally blends singing and rap. Among her tracks, 'Angel' broadened her audience and established her signature, driven by clear, precise lyrics and production she shapes herself. Her projects, including Universe Wrapped In Flesh, confirm this blend of textures and tempos, balancing immediacy and introspection.

After a sold-out show at La Boule Noire last year, Lexa Gates returns to Paris for a date at La Maroquinerie on June 24, 2026. On stage she showcases her versatility, alternating melodies and flows, and delivers a set conceived as an extension of her studio work. Between songs discovered online and more recent material, her live performance highlights this way of navigating genres without losing the thread, with a restrained intensity and a constant focus on words and atmosphere.
