Musical career

2009–2018: M-Lex

Oh well, it’s from the name Alexander shortened as Alex so my classmates always liked to call the name Lexy and later after the music competition, the national director and the founder Mr Olushola Adebowale known as Mc Confess called and said from now on your new name is going to be Mighty Lex because your voice is just so powerful, so for the name to be easy to pronounce by fans, my music manager named Kenneth Airen O. CEO Megalpoint Tv said that it will be more unique this way as M-lex then earlier this year was later changed to Mlex Songz because I’m a minister in songs. That was how it all came.
