Young Lyxx

Being a California kid and infusing a new sound into the south may be a seemingly difficult task but to Young Lyxx it is all too natural. His early acquaintance with the music and unbridled hard work makes Young Lyxx confident that he will be able to accomplish this mission. Born Lennix Nelson Rogers Jr. (Young Lyxx) on August 16, 1989 in San Diego, California, he grew up listening to the popular sounds of the late 80s/early 90s. His family moved to New Orleans when he was just 6 years old, but this move would prove to be instrumental in his development as a rapper. He was first introduced to the music known as bounce by placing his ear to the door of his older cousin, Yorri Berry's, bedroom and listening to her rap original work in the late hours. Soon after Lyxx began writing original work of his own. At age 11, Lyxx and his parents returned to San Diego, California. He began recording on computer mics which served a good practice for what was yet to come. At age 16, Lyxx linked up with other artists, Aaron TaEa$t Evans and Cairo McGee. The three clicked and eventually brought Mark Chicago Beard into the operation. Lyxx worked on an album recording with friend, James jBoy Daniels (an up and coming producer from Oceanside, California). jBoy introduced Lyxx to Pro-Tools and from there Lyxx picked up his own unique recording habits. Lyxx acceptance to Clark-Atlanta University forced a move to the Peachtree state, juggling the demands of college, a thriving social life, and a rap career.
Lyxx plans to introduce a new sound to the industry and with a successful mixtape (Rosaries On The Dresser), climaxing to 1M+ plays on Myspace. Being the first artist to ever do their own in-store concert at the New Era Flagship Store in Atlanta, GA and multiple shows with other up and coming artist such as, B.O.B., J. Cole, Mickey Factz, Donnis, Big Krit, Nefu Da Don, Wiz Khalifa, Pac Div, U-N-I, Dom Kennedy, Smoke DZA, Laws, and others. With a strong team behind him (Top Heavy U.), support from clothing lines such as Chilly-O, Fli Pelican, Rock Smith Tokyo, and others, he is confident that his music is ready to be heard by the discerning ears of the world. His musical impact in Atlanta has also caught the attention of BROKE AND BOUJEE's own "Fadia Kader." "When I make my way into the game, Im bringing my bags to settle in, because Im not going nowhere." His enthusiasm topped off with talent makes all those who have come into contact with him, BELIEVE that he is here to stay!
