Rasp-filled, sensually soulful Lexi Strate has set a dizzying pace over the last 2 years. Her debut EP âWAVESâ featured 7 songs that introduced her smoky style of indie pop. The EP won the WCMA award for âPop Album Of The Yearâ, and was also Canadian Beatsâ âEP Of The Yearâ. Her video for âDiamond Eyesâ (a single with nearly 1,000,000 streams) was shot by buzz director Travis Nesbitt (Dan Davidson, Brett Kissel, USS, Owls By Nature, Social Code) and experienced moderate rotation on Much Music. Throughout her success in 2016, her reach began to extend beyond the digital world. She began playing large shows opening for label artists like Virginia To Vegas, Coleman Hell, The Trews (who asked Lexi to join them onstage across Southern Alberta to perform Serena Ryderâs parts on âIn The Morningâ), The Sheepdogs, The Strumbellas and many more. She was also invited to participate in several pro-level writing camps in Toronto, Vancouver, and throughout Western Canada.
