Sex Education is Lexa's first screen acting gig, but she has already started building a career for herself in the music business.
Her official website describes her as "a London-based indie pop singer and songwriter", whose next single – titled early nights – is scheduled to premiere at midnight on Friday 29th September 2023.
Lexa's biography continues: "As an openly trans woman, her songs resonate with listeners, offering a glimpse into the human experience through poignant and relatable lyrics."

Who is Abbi in Sex Education season 4?
Abbi is the most popular girl at Cavendish Sixth Form, known for her kindness and positivity, as well as her long-term relationship with fellow student Roman.
The power couple form a clique with Aisha known as the Coven, which welcomes Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) soon after he joins the school from now-defunct Moordale Secondary.
Abbi and Eric share a particularly close bond as they are both Christian, which hasn't always been easy for them when socially conservative members of their respective churches disapprove of the LGBTQ+ community.
