In January 2017, Lexie released her first song, "Coco Made Me Do It." It quickly gained over 5 million views! The next month, she performed at the SXSW music festival in the United States. This helped introduce Chinese pop music to a wider audience.

In 2018, Lexie wrote a song called "Role" for a famous Chinese idol, Li Yifeng. Later that year, she joined The Rap of China TV show. She made it to the final round with her song "Mulan" and finished in fourth place. During the show, she signed with an American music company called 88rising.

Releasing New Music

Lexie released her song "Sleep Away" in November 2018. Many music magazines praised the song. In December 2018, she released "Nada," a cyberpunk-inspired song with a cool, futuristic music video. The Line of Best Fit described "Nada" as a mix of Mandopop and strong beats.

In February 2019, Lexie released her first EP, 2030, in the United States. It included new songs like "Outta Time" and "Love and Run." Later that year, in September, she released the single "Ok, Ok, Ok." Her album Meta Ego came out in December 2019.

Exploring New Sounds

In January 2021, Lexie released her second EP, Gone Gold. She wrote and produced all the songs on it herself. This EP had more electro-pop sounds than her previous work. The songs and music videos for Gone Gold were inspired by the idea of living in an online game. Lexie got this idea during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she mostly saw the world through a screen.

The Happy Star Album

Lexie continued to explore new styles in 2022. On November 21, 2022, she released "Fortuna," a high-energy song that mixes Mandarin, English, and Spanish.
