Independent pop artist and songwriter Dex Experience has come full circle, reclaiming his place as a proud, gay, Black creator taking over the dance floor and inspiring people around the world to master self love and passionately live their truth. Born in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in New York City, for years he struggled to find his true voice. Dex finally discovered his authentic self in the passion, pageantry, and creativity of the New York nightlife scene. Music saved his life, and he became a creator and a performer. 

Facing pressure from society to conform, Dex turned his back on performing to pursue a business career. He found huge success as the founder and CEO of cosmetics company DEX New York, but as he attended corporate meetings and sat in boardrooms, he felt as though the color had been pulled from his world.

In 2017, Dex reclaimed his magic when he returned to the dance floor with his first hit single, “Internash,” which debuted on Billboard Music’s Top-50 Dance Club Single Chart. In 2019, he released “Don’t Underestimate Me”, a power ballad featuring Dawn Tallman, the chart-topping Queen of Gospel Energy. 2021 saw him unveil his empowering single “A New Day” with support from iHeartRadio, KTLA, YouTube’s Celebrating Pride playlist, and Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean.

With the release of “Casanova” late last year, Dex showed off his empowerment, inspiring listeners to strut their true, unapologetic selves and show off all of their many facets without fear. As his personal celebration of self, he revived his sassy, sparkly drag-inspired alter-ego Naomi for the fabulous music video.

In his powerful upcoming new single, “Game Change” (co-written with indie singer-songwriter Jayson Caste), Dex dives deep into his own history as a Black man to honor the power and potential that lies within. With values firmly rooted in gratitude, diversity, community, vulnerability, and compassion, his message is clear: be the change you’d like to see, write your own narrative, and heal the past with a focus on building a stronger future.
