‘Closer’ is a high-octane release with pulsing basslines, slick production and XIRA’s hypnotic vocals layered throughout. It’s a dancefloor weapon born from Lex’s love for electronic music—a genre that played a key role in her recovery.

“Dance music has been and still is a huge part of my recovery. I’m obsessed. It’s my soundtrack to happiness and keeps me pushing on. I have a lot of ideas in my head about dance music. So when I’m not training or doing OT, I’ve been creating music with the support of some new friends.” Lex Leary.

Inspired by artists like FISHER, Lex aims to create music that lifts, moves, and motivates. 

Already making waves in the dance community, Lex Leary is proving she’s just getting started. Stream ‘Closer’ featuring XIRA now and watch this unstoppable force rise.
