Lex Cameron
Lex Cameron first came to prominence in the early 90's after touring with Roachford, creating something of a stir on the UK Soul scene at the time. Following several trips to the US on the back of that success Lex returned to the UK and it wasn't long before he was heavily involved in the burgeoning Soul/Pop scene, working as a singer/keyboardist with the likes of Chic, Shania Twain, Michael Bolton, Barry White and Omar. As a result of this work for the next two decades Lex became first call singer/keyboardist for a host of high profile names, including the likes of Chaka Khan, Craig David, Incognito, Amy Winehouse, Billy Ocean and Tinie Tempah. He also hooked back up with the iconic UK soul artist Omar, for whom he became Musical Director, vocalist/composer and keyboard player. Through Omar, Lex also worked with the legendary singer/composer Leon Ware as his Musical Director, and it is a measure of the quality of Lex's original material that he was asked (by Leon) to open Leon's show by singing and performing one of his own compositions. Although a busy and well respected sideman and MD Lex is still writing and performing his own material whenever he can, and with his 4-and-a-half octave vocal range, charismatic delivery and impressive musicianship he can be relied upon to give an electric performance. Joining him tonight are some of Lex's impressive friends and colleagues, including Dave Ital (Chaka Kahn)-guitar, Nick Cohen (Roy Ayers)-bass and Westley Joseph (Courtney Pine)-drums. Highly recommended.
