Speaker 3Hello, hello, very happy to be here. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2Very excited to have you.
Speaker 4Very excited to have you on, lex. It's just really great to see what you're doing breaking down walls, breaking barriers in the dancehall industry and the hip-hop industry, what you're doing, it's just commendable. It's a sense of bravery. It's a sense of saying, hey, I'm going to be my true, authentic self, because we all know what reggae music has been since forever. You know it's always a lot of homophobia to see you step out, being your true self and say, hey, I'm going to do my part to make sure that we take dancehall music not just for a small group of people, but expand it to everyone, make everyone feel like this is a place of belonging. So, with that, can you tell us a little bit about what inspired you to do that song? The Abatheman Party. I know it's already going viral. We want to make sure it goes 100% viral by Pride Month. So tell us about what inspired you.
Speaker 3It really was more about, like you said, carving out that space, that place where you can also be included in something that you love, something that you grew up with, something that has been part of your whole life. But you know, it just has always been very unwelcoming to you for you to be your full self, for you to just be a part of it, Cause you have the balance, have something that's always you to be your full self, for you to just be a part of it Cause you're on the balance. Have someone does this always, you know, respond them, your candidates, no mind fit, I don't know, mind the gallop, I'm just the gallop. Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 3I was always something. Career was more. I feel like I'm more mentally prepared now for the potential comments and whatnot. So I'm like, okay, I'm in a good place in my life to be able to feel like I can do it now and actually make a statement. And then, yeah, also, I was just thinking about all the other queer Caribbean kids for me that will be coming up later on and hopefully they would have a different experience than what I have right.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm sure you've been an artist all your life, but when did your career first start?
Speaker 3So really started actually creating in, let's say, 2017. That's when I had the confidence to actually put something out and to see what happens and take it a bit more serious.
Speaker 2Has it always been like dance hall thing?
Speaker 3Yes, I started with a dance hall bass because that's just what I listen to the most and that's what I loved. And I spent time making other stuff and it just didn't feel as fun, it didn't feel as nice to actually want to perform or share with people who are that confident, and so it just always kind of started from a dance hall kind of three-bin-ish place and then branched out into fusing and doing different things. But I feel like I always started there because that's where I just felt most comfortable so the title of the song?
Speaker 4it titles batman party. Were you nervous about the reception you were gonna receive when you put it out there?
Speaker 3absolutely. It was definitely nervous, very stressed, but one I was like if I'm going to say something, I'm going to say something Like I don't know if I'm going to do it, but I have to do it 100% all the way. I mean I told a couple of close friends about it already that have been like cheering me on and being like, yes, it is needed, I'm giving that reassurance to go forward with it. I definitely had some feels about it. I was like all right, well, because we can't go back to the country now. That made me laugh to this. That made me block my passport, revolt my citizenship. But you know it's what it is. You know it's not just for me, it's for all the other people as well. Even though it's just for fun, it's a start.
Speaker 2Yeah, and the as well, even though it's just a fun, like it's a start. Yeah, and the video too. Let's not forget that I love the video, yes I love it. I love it yeah so you said he's decided if you're gonna do something you're not gonna do it halfway. So then I take it that none of the other songs you put out before even hinted at sexuality or anything like that.
Speaker 3I would say there's definitely some hints, a few people are like really listening, but it was never been that direct and like. Here I am, I don't care, this is what it is, fuck you.
Speaker 4Yeah, I'm the person like to put it on here, because we're both from the same country and we understand how people can be when it comes to homosexuality. Have you received any threatening things like, hey, if you come back to Jamaica, what might happen to you, and anything like that?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, absolutely. There's plenty of messages on why a couple of arms that sting I can't come back into the country or we're ready to be shot and blah, blah, blah when you're out there, doesn't that concern? Yeah, I've definitely seen that and I'm like okay wow, are you in fear of going back home?
Speaker 4I'd say a little bit, but also I'm just like, I think it was just like the time exactly the moment you go there, everybody running like hey, lexicon, hey, lexicon, hey, yeah, but you know what lexicon? I think there are a lot more, almost you know, and I'm not 100 sure but I think there are a lot more people in the dancehall industry that really wants to live their truth, but they are so scared of getting the backlash. But I'm hoping that your song is a gateway for them to say you know what? I can live my truth. I can live my truth and I feel like people really cares about me in my corner.
Speaker 3No, absolutely. I definitely think there's a whole bunch of them. Some of them were like but I totally get why they haven't said anything as well. You know the reason why it took me so long to say anything. But yeah, hopefully it does. And you know, if they want to jump on the remix and announce it to the world, then I'm ready and willing.
Speaker 4You're in Canada, right? Yes, Okay. And what about a reception from the Jamaican community in Canada?
Speaker 2You know, actually, let me ask first is there a jamaican community in? Well, canada? The whole told you where. Where are you exactly?
Speaker 3in toronto. So there is a big jamaican community in toronto specifically. I think the biggest hubs are new york. Toronto and london are where jamaicans seem to have like mostly dispersed too.
Speaker 2So all right, okay, okay. And how long have you been there?
Speaker 3been there for it's been a while now, a couple of years, like eight, nine, ten.
Speaker 2Did you go straight from Jamaica to Toronto?
Speaker 3No, we stayed in Ingram for a bit and then in New York for a bit, and then mostly settled in Toronto.
Speaker 2Okay, okay and then.
Speaker 4So you were asking so what's the reception from the Jamaican community there, Caribbean community and a whole in Toronto since that song came out?
Speaker 3So it's been split, you know, they have the regular Jamaicans that have to hold on to everything that they think is Jamaican and uphold whatever it is that they want to uphold, and they just went like side eye, side eye. What is this? You know? Why do they call this? Why I have to be whatever. And then you have the more millennial or I guess either the millennial or the more cool americanized or north america is jamaican that are like you know what? You know, they should have their own picks too, they should have their own songs. And you have the, the younger ones, who are like yes, finally something I can listen to, I can go play, I can like burqa too, I can whine too, I can talk it too, and, you know, not feel any type of way.
Speaker 4So right, yeah, um, because and I think that's pretty much um who I think once, um, they get out of that mindset of what quote unquote it's supposed to be, and understand that you're gonna live your lives and it's not infectious, you're not going to catch anything, because if it wasn't infectious. We'd all be straight, right, Because our peers are quote unquote straight.
Speaker 3Thank you.
Speaker 4So you know, that's just the stigma that Dominican people have. But I'm really happy that you are feeling comfortable and happy. You seem to be in really good spirit about it. I'm really happy about it. There's feeling comfortable and happy. He seems to be in really good spirit about it. I'm really happy about it. There was one thing in the song that I really liked was you had those two barbies scissoring. I was like, oh my God, this song is everything. Man. You know it's something that's needed. That song was absolutely needed. What's your favorite moment of that song, of that hit single?
Speaker 3I'd say my favorite moment is the fire button is fire, but not my man, get wet on quench. All of that because you know every, every name. Oh, you know. You already knew. You already knew if I made a song like this, somebody's gonna say that. So it's like okay, let me make sure there's a line ready for everybody that's gonna come and say something for us americans who are listening.
Speaker 2You have to clarify that, for us.
Speaker 4What does they want to know? What fire bun means?
Speaker 3oh, it means to burn, it means to set ablaze, it means to light. So, in other words, they are saying they would like to light the queer people on fire, they would like them to burn and to cease to exist, but in my song I will be splunging them with many fluids, many sexual fluids that are going to douse all of those flames and fires that they are trying to burn.
Speaker 4Okay, right, yeah, because you know the world-famous Boom Bye Bye was, you know. Thankfully it's not played as much as it used to, but that song really hampered the homophobia in Jamaica.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think that's also where I want to reference it in the song too, because I'm like they always, you know, I always wonder. There's a few ones that they always reference. I was like I have to mention all of them because this is a statement that I'm trying to say, like we're not doing this shit anymore, so let me kind of move.
Speaker 2You're not on TikTok a lot, but what's the artist's name who sings that song? Buja.
Speaker 4Banta yeah.
Speaker 2I saw something that he was doing like hits or something like that. Someone said in the comments something like I'm waiting to hear that song. People were just like making derogatory comments. I'm just like, really Seriously, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4Yeah, that's exactly how they are and I'm happy jamaica is turning around a little bit. But it's just beyond me why living in troika and takes over in jamaica is such an issue to people like they don't care what they have going on either. Oh, batman, lesbians, saddam, all saw this stuff. You know, everybody just get worked up on and the government is not really doing anything to stop it no, people are here again.
Speaker 3I talked about here getting literally tilled. You know other horrible things are actually happening, but the biggest issue is is batman. That's just the the whole issue for the whole country.
Speaker 4For some reason, so, since that song came on because I know I'm talking a lot about it, but it's something to talk about because this is going to be a gateway for a lot of artists so have you gotten any bookings since this song came out, like to perform at any events, whether it's Pride events or just regular? Yeah, no.
Queer Identity and Music Industry Journey
Speaker 3I think I will. I have a friend that is performing at toronto pride um, I missed the submission but like I might still do a thing on their set. And then I know some parties or some places from like london, different pride events also reached out. So we will see how that goes. Nothing's finalized, nothing's not gonna sign nothing, but you know definitely some interest as people reach out with the different um pride special from toronto. We will see how that goes. Nothing's finalized, Nothing's, nothing's signed up, but you know definitely some interest as people reach out with the different Pride systems in Toronto and London at the moment. So we'll see what happens. I'm excited. I mean this is just there's a whole project coming. I was like I thought it was a different song on it, that this one.
Speaker 4But you know, because um spice performed at toronto pride last year, were you?
Speaker 3yes, yes, I was. I loved it.
Speaker 4She was great, like it was a moment she got a lot of backlash from a lot of oh yeah they cussed her out.
Speaker 4They cussed her out wow, because she's a jamaican artist performing. She performed at toronto pride last year. Oh, she put at pride right, they said that she is accepting um batman money also. Let's simply say about her because she performed at pride, I was really impressed that she did it. You know it. It it says a lot about her character, you know, because, especially there, oh, she started out the group that she started out with, and for her to come this far and have this open mind and go to such a huge because toronto pride is probably the biggest- pride in the world and for her to take something, I said, hey, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3And she stepped out there and she did it I think, yeah, it was definitely shocking and amazing and I think she has come a long way. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, she stopped saying anything negative about the queer community a while ago, like she has. I mean, there's just the one Rumping Chop song, but other than that she was never really saying anything. But for her to take a stand and actually say, yes, I love all my fans, even the gay ones, even this, like you know, that's a big deal, especially for that.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was really dope. So, lex, you mentioned that you decided to do the song because you were in a place mentally to do it and accept, you know, whatever came with it. Take us through a little bit of that process, that journey. Where did you think you started, as far as your comfort, expressing sexuality in the music industry to coming to this point where you're just all out, kick the door open and just like, boom, I'm here.
Speaker 3It definitely depends on the figures and the making. It's definitely a process. First you come to terms with yourself, then you come to terms with the people around you, like your family, yourself. Then you come to terms with the people around you, then your family, and then you just kind of have to figure that out and then, creatively, you're also trying to figure out that side of things, because there's still a whole lot of people in the music industry, even though, like, there's so much queer people in the music industry, it doesn't really make any sense. But yes, there's still a lot of people that'll either, and they also. Yes, there's still a lot of people that'll either, and they also.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's been a lot of queer artists that come out and felt boxed into only you're only this, you're only that, we can't do anything else, which is also annoying. But I think where the turning point was the whole little nice thing when he I just came out and you could see the shift in terms of like the, the numbers and the things he was able to do definitely surpassed the previous queer people were able to do. It wasn't as boxed in with the rest of them. Things are changing a bit more where people are ready to actually support and move past this and where it's like, it's like a real thing and then Saucy Santana had been themselves for the entire time.
Speaker 3I'm like okay, I feel like the kind of societal shift in music is feeling more inclusive and supporting those artists, because those artists have always been there but they've never been supported and never actually given the spotlight.
Speaker 3So I'm like okay, that all those things influence that slow change to say I can do that too at some point and then getting support, I felt more like I said that piece in my life within the goryon that I was like okay, if I'm gonna do it, I think now's the time when I feel like I can actually do it and yeah, and if being pigeonholed and whatever, then so be it. Whatever happens, so be it. Like at this point, it's not just for me. I think that was another because having a lot of other Caribbean people around me that like okay, they also feel like this is needed. So it was like okay, it's not going to be just for me, it's going to be more about not just more than just about myself, but like okay, regardless of what happens, if this can touch our community in some positive way, whether it's one song or whatever, then I'd feel better than not doing it.
Speaker 2I love music. I don't know much about the industry. Do you have somebody who produced the song, produced the video? Were they encouraging? Are they queer friendly? What has been your experience with that side of it?
Speaker 3Because I had some time in Toronto to build my own kind of like. It's not like I was ever not being queer. I never announced it, but I was always myself. So anyone that was around me they knew it wasn't like like some secret. I guess it just wasn't like walking around with a flag or whatever, but it was always just being myself. So there's people that I've built relationships with where they do produce with me or I can reach out for stuff that, like I know they don't care, they're supportive, they're like an ally, they're, they're down. So in terms of production for that specific song not what I just got online, really that's because I heard it and it just came to me but I do have other songs that are on the project. That's produced by a good friend who's an lr. They also have kurdian background too, but he's just not homophobic, which is great. And then the videographer has been great. He's supportive of everything. He's a great creative himself.
Speaker 3I'll say just trying to get certain people for the video, that was a challenge because some people might be like they are queer and I know they are, but they're not like publicly basically queer. So then there was that issue to getting people that were okay being in it and blah, blah blah. Like here we go. But it all worked out and I get it. I was never gonna tell them oh no, you need to do this. I totally understand their reservation. So I was like, okay, it's fine, I'll just find other people who are down.
Speaker 4A lot of allies were actually down, so okay you know, when I when I learned about your song and it's gonna be bf you will be surprised. I have a, a friend in Jamaica. She teaches at the University of the West Indies and she posted it on Facebook and she said, and her comment was dance, all nice again. And I said what's this? And I clicked on it and I heard this song and I called her because we were watching TV and I'm like, hey, you got to hear this song. I said I got to reach out to him. We have to have him on the podcast because this is a new day, this is revolution. Man, you know this, I'm telling you, when she put it, he said that's all nice again.
Speaker 4And people were commenting on it and it was all positive. People were saying some people were like, yes, where is he performing? So you know, I understand the fear about going back to Jamaica, but I can guarantee you this you're're going to have support when you go there and if you go there, I want to be there right by your side to support you, because I'm telling you, it's just a new day. When she put that title, that's all nice, I posted the song. It was amazing.
Speaker 3I wish I saw that post. That definitely makes me happy to hear.
Speaker 4I will screenshot it. I'll send it to you on Instagram. But it was, it was amazing.
Speaker 2So, Lex, you mentioned it just a moment ago, but you said, and you also put it in the survey that we had, but you mentioned being bi for a while and then now you identify as gay. Can you talk a little bit about that journey?
Journey to Self-Acceptance and Expression
Speaker 3I guess for me it was more. I guess I always knew I I didn't know what straight was and all the other things. But like you just know, you're not the same as everybody else. But from what I can remember, when I was like I left girls, like they were nice, they were like even I crushed those over them. I wasn't even thinking about boys at all until I guess being 11 or 12 or anything where that obviously I was more. Through another friend who was open about, I was like, oh, I think so I've liked, so I've liked both, but I mostly just like guys whether that includes trans men as well and I'm like, maybe, who knows, I end up with someone one day, a couple of years from now, and everyone's looking at me sideways and I'm like, well, it's just what happened, okay.
Speaker 2Okay, so you say you weren't thinking about I mean, you liked girls growing up. You weren't thinking about guys at all. And so then are you saying that around 11 there was someone who you were exposed to, who was open, and and then that kind of piqued your interest yeah, no, yeah, that was my best friend.
Speaker 3Like, yeah, they were, they were open about it, about like liking someone else, right, and then I was like, and then I, I was like, oh, and I think I ended up actually liking my other friend. So then we both liked two other friends that were all in the same class or whatever. And then it was like they just pass by, you know, brush your hand and you're like, hey, you know they talk to you. You know, suddenly you're like like I was like, okay, wow, like, so you start getting those like strong, little strong feelsels and I'm like, okay, well, this is new and it was nice to actually have someone to talk to about what going through that and being able to share and not feeling like, especially knowing the whole environment that you grew up in is always like no, no, no, even before you even know what gay is, that gay is wrong.
Speaker 2You just go up knowing that gay is bad.
Speaker 3You don't know what it is, but like that's not what you want to really like. What was your biggest concern when you realized that you liked boys? Well, now, like, oh well, you know, I'm definitely gonna get kicked out of the family. Now, like you know really well, especially since my family's very religious. Well, I mean, most of my cousins are, but you know, like when they like, when it's something that they don't like.
Speaker 3So very like, very church friendly, very heavily grew up in that environment. So then you have to learn to hide parts of yourself and you have to figure out how to adapt to different environments. So you can say this but you can't say that, and you know it's just so much work.
Speaker 2Yeah, this, but you can't say that and you know it's just so much work. Yeah, when did you feel like you could be? What? Did you feel more relaxed? When you feel like you could really be yourself and express yourself? When and where were you?
Speaker 3I think that was definitely that first year university where I guess you kind of just like on your own, you're away for most of you, probably like you can just do your learning, you're around and like I was able to go to, from most of you, probably like you can just do your learning, you're around and like I was able to go to different events, and that's where you kind of learn about not or at least I was in like different groups, um, that like supported, where people still not learn about, you know, not binary. You learn about people's pronouns, that you also learn about how people feel about this, and there's other groups and people just talk freely about the thing. You're like, oh wow, your mind just opens up to people that have different experiences and you're like, okay, I can just exist in this kind of small space, I can just be where I want, nobody's going to make it a big deal and you have other people you can like talk to. So then it was like, okay, I can just be, so yeah.
Speaker 4Nice. Yeah, it's so amazing, amazing. When I came out in Jamaica, I'm the type of person where I was a very rebellious person. I'm still a little bit rebellious because I'm not going to live, I cannot live for somebody, right? And some people would be like then why didn't you just say you're not and just wait until you were old enough? But it's such a hard thing to suppress who you are and to make someone else happy. Because that's why I have so many young children these days, especially in the lgbtq plus community, that are committing suicides and are doing harmful things to themselves, because they don't have the support and they have to be suppressing who they are on the inside no, we are 100 correct about that, and I was not a reluctant, rebellious child.
Speaker 3I'll definitely more than keep it in and then set my plans for later on, but you're absolutely right. So the whole time was horrible. Many times I thought about suicide or didn't want to live or didn't want to exist, and just knowing that your people around you say one thing but know what they really think about you but they just don't know. And it's just horrible, it's all of it, hate, all of it. But thankfully came through it and here today and got to this place, which is where I'm okay. If I can get here and I can hopefully get someone else get here quicker or not have to do that whole thing, then great, because it's not fun, I'm sure, and and then the group people enjoyed it.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is why we do this, because people have different stories, but unfortunately, the story for most people in the community is that they had some hardships, and primarily from family, friends, work, whatever and we want to show people that you can come through it on the other side and be successful and have a happy life, and so that's I love what your inspiration for your song, that you said you can help somebody else come through this quicker, hopefully because they can see themselves, they hear themselves in what you put out and have fun dance while doing it.
Speaker 4I'm telling you it's already a hit and I know it's only going to be uphill from here with this song, because it's a not uphill, because it's not at the bottom, but it's already a hit. It's only going to get bigger. And because every single person that I've sent this song I've even sent it to people that are not from the community but that supports the community and I can send it to my cousin in Texas and she was like a lot of mercy when telling me to come to Texas, can't perform. You know, it's like people and I was like I don't know him personally. I saw him thought of being an A-team up and he responded and I was like, if there's a space, because the good thing about Canada, america and England and places like those, you have that safe space right In Jamaica.
Speaker 4It used to be on the Round Hill or the Hilltop in Kingston and places like those. It's gotten a little bit better and unfortunately a lot of lesbians gear towards strip clubs because that's where they can go and feel comfortable right, but there's a lot of underground party. But the good thing is Jamaica now has a gay parade and they celebrate Pride Month not officially by the government, but the community is doing it, so I see big things coming from this hit single.
Speaker 2So, thinking back Lexington, our last two questions what advice would you give your younger self? We'll ask you questions.
Overcoming Fear and Pursuing Passion
Speaker 3What advice would you give your younger self? I guess the advice I would just be like people are a rebel and you know, start acting up, start acting up, start. You know, start cussing, start speaking out, start being the problem child, because then I feel like everything is a lot easier afterwards, where they're just used to the color. I'm like no, it's too nice, it's too nice accommodating to like. I would say definitely way less accommodating, so I cannot start. I was on a ruckus and probably came out sooner and I guess it it's just more, hopefully, I wish I'd built up that confidence sooner to start your life, regardless of what it's going to look like, just getting onto the other side of fear, just to say I'm going to be me regardless and just yeah, I really just wish it started sooner. I think that's really it.
Speaker 2I was going to pass any last words, but that sounds great, like that is great advice for our audience, for people who are, as you said, too accommodating, too nice. Call the ruckus.
Speaker 3Yeah, especially when you're young. Just start with that mind, start, start, start acting out, start, work well, start. You know, let them. Let them have a problem with you. Get used to the tension, get used to confrontation. I used to think that's where it'll help you, because if you're used to it, then everything else after you'll be fine Because you're already used to it. Versus when you're accommodating whatever, then it's harder for you to say certain things, or when people say things that affects Anne. Okay, all right, thanks, bye. You know, yeah.
Speaker 4You know your humility and how humble you are. You know it's going to take you very far as well, because I can see that you still have a little shyness inside you.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's the only time I break out is on stage, but yeah.
Speaker 4That's the right time. You are well behaved. Hey what I said you're a bad pit man.
Speaker 3No, I was always a good child. You know, I'm my testable bad bird now.
