Lexi James is Performing in Nashville

Singer-songwriter Lexi James calls herself "21 going on 12, and I’m a country music and scary movie enthusiast" who loves "sparkly things, makeup, dresses, zombies…and puppies." This red-headed ball of fun is headed to Nashville for Music City's famed CRS (Country Radio Seminar) 2014, with live performances scheduled at Hard Rock Café on Thursday, February 20 and The Listening Room on Friday, February 21.

At just 21, Lexi's road to Nashville has been anything but easy. Her journey has been filled with more challenges than most because she was bullied as a child for her stuttering and her red hair. Rather than turning into a recluse, she focused on music and decided to turn her challenges into musical messages of empowerment. Refusing to change her appearance to fit in, Lexi still steps onto stages and wears her fiery red curls like a red badge of courage, motivating her fans to boldly and fearlessly embrace their true selves and stand up to negativity.

"I think what I've experienced has prepared me for my career in an industry that requires a thick skin," says Lexi, who is the national spokesperson for PACER Teens Against Bullying. "I am not ashamed to be myself, even if that means being different from everybody else."
