Full of life and positive energy, Lenixx was born Relana Jah’melle McGlothan, a daughter of two revolutionary minds in Atlanta, GA. As an adolescence growing up in Portland, Oregon, Lenixx suffered a life of adversary and pain. As an outlet to cope with some of the struggle she experienced she found a calmness in participating in the arts such as dancing, songwriting and singing to escape some issues she dealt with.

As she grew into an adult she joined the US Army, though proud to serve her country, she knew her passion lied in the arts and entertaining. During her military experience, Lenixx started writing hooks for her brother, a local Portland rapper called Mike Machete along with other rappers. Then she started to create her own songs. After winning her first competition at a talent show at a military post in Germany in February 2004 she new she had to continue to pursue her dream of becoming a singer and songwriter.

Previously under the artist names Relana, Izana, and the lead singer of the band Funky LegHorns, Lenixx has the unique talent of hearing a music track and creating a unique song with influences of sounds like Alicia Keys, Sade, Prince, Vanity, and Mary J. Blige, but what is clear is that Lenixx is original in the content of her music and voice. With soft flowing melodies to deep intricate lyrics of life’s struggle and happiness on groovy compositions Lenixx sings! The next star to be found on the charts is none other than Lenixx.
