Coined by 'Wonderland' as a "sensational breakout star”, indie pop artist and ‘Sex Education’ star Anthony Lexa has been "lighting up people’s playlists with beautiful alt-pop bops” (‘Notion’ 2023) since 2018. With an accrued fanbase of over 180,000 loyal followers online, Ant has come a long way from her upbringing in rural Devon. Her focus is to create a safe space with her art for anyone who feels alienated, a feeling she knows all too well due to her skin condition and identity as a transgender woman. Also hailed for her songwriting ability, she has worked with Itamar (RAYE, Ed Sheeran, Perrie Edwards), Gethin Pearson (Charli XCX, BLOC Party, Badly Drawn Boy) and Mark Elliot (FIZZ, Orla Gartland).
Anthony’s musical prowess has led her to perform at iconic London venues including The London Palladium, The Clapham Grand and Colour Factory as well as selling out her own London cabaret show. This year, she has taken to the stage at ‘Wireless’ and ‘Body Movements’ festival and spoken on panels with Channel 4, Soundcloud and even recorded an episode of the ‘QueerAF’ podcast.
She has grown up in the performing industry, but her activist based work cannot be ignored. This includes her efforts in raising over £40k with ‘Not A Phase’, presenting an award for ‘Just Like Us 2024’ in collaboration with Gay Times and her position as an ambassador for ‘GoFundMe’, ‘Think2Speak’ and ‘Changing Faces UK’.
