Presented by Showcase App + WE FOUND NEW MUSIC
frex
Known for her unique melodies and candor in her storytelling, frex is an artist to watch that is carving her own path and putting human connection at the forefront of her genre-blending artistry. Pulling inspiration from R&B, pop, jazz, and more, frex uses her music to process her feelings and experiences, and push boundaries with the hope that her artistry helps others embrace their own vulnerability and overcome what they’re going through. Building organic buzz with her release Blu, which she recorded and mixed herself, frex has been on an incredible trajectory.
A self-proclaimed misfit who didn't feel like she belonged, music quickly became an outlet for frex who never imagined she could turn it into a career until she began recording YouTube covers on an old laptop in her bedroom. From a small town in Pennsylvania, her music helped her escape the rigid confines of her life at Catholic school and quickly became an outlet for her rebellious streak. Finding songwriting inspiration while listening to bands like Death Cab For Cutie, Phoenix, Young The Giant, The Shins, and Two Door Cinema Club – all of which have infused her music with stark honesty – frex later dropped out of bus
