About ‘Sexie’, DJ Flex says:
‘the song blends the sounds of Jersey Club and Afropop that is equally balanced throughout the song to reach a worldwide audience. I really took the time to make sure the sound was unique and universal. The production and vocal structure was designed to get the clubs rocking. The kicks are super heavy and energetic. I took my experience from playing at clubs and understanding what the people want to hear. Which led me to the concept of writing a song about a crazy drunk night with a significant other or person for the night after the club. The lyrics were written in a flirtatious style that led to wild fun. I also had the Afro dance community in mind so the style of beat represents the culture. Overall the sound is different and unique, and the record builds excitement and can get the masses moving!’
Born to Ghanaian parents in Newark, DJ Flex’s unique background has played a pivotal role in shaping his distinct sound. His music reflects quite a diverse background with the vibrant beats of Afropop, the sweat-inducing bounce of Jersey Club, and the rhythmic allure of Baile Funk.
