Daily Inspiration: Meet Lex Lucazi

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lex Lucazi.

Hi Lex, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
Early in our childhood, my brother Daniel and I knew we would be musicians. Born in Eastern Tennessee We were poor growing up so we improvised using very basic equipment. We were doing this in the 7th and 8th grades of elementary school.

We were writing music and trying to make songs early. Over time, we both became formidable musicians and I became a record producer. My 1st experience with a major label was working with Phil Barnhardt at Sony ATV Nashville while he was putting together Broken Wing for Martina McBride.

Even though I was in Hip-Hop and soul it never hurts to be versatile. I actually was in an R&B group also and we did several major shows. But my heart stayed in production and got attention from rapper Grandaddy Souf who was signed to Universal Motown. My cousin Sean Wallace and I formulated Tha Nox and went on to do 8 songs on his album.

At the same time, I was working with the Black Mob group and produced tracks with Big Country King and T.I. For Hustle Gang And received Platinum credits for my work on “Show it to me- featuring Nelly” I also produced Gucci Mane’s 1st version of Cocaine cowboy with T-Pain on Grandaddy Souf’s project. And produced several tracks for Tha Outlawz (Tupac) including “Don’t Wait-featuring Krayzie Bone and Thuggin till I die as well as “Don’t Change” for Rick Ross, and “What you doing” for Gorilla Zoe.

And the “865 remixes” featuring Yo Gotti, Starlito, and Mr. Mack. I also produced “Come and get your love” by Native American artist B from Dakota South which won the Native American Music Award and was nominated for the Canadian Indigenous Music award and several other awards. With that and the Verizon campaign, I look forward to where my journey is taking me and have more incredible news coming!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It’s never easy. There are many pitfalls with the change to streaming and the uptick in copyright infringement and people being difficulty in deal situations with producers it’s a wild game.

You definitely have to know who you’re dealing with and get around good people who will look out for your best interests. I mentor a lot of young producers.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m known for my heavy drums and how I move around a piano. The thing that sets me apart is I can shift gears and genres accurately and easily and musicianship.

Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Uplifting others: that’s important to me. I didn’t have a guide early In my career. So when someone needs guidance I’ve always tried to go above and beyond. Be good to each other.
