Léa Cristina Araujo da Fonseca, known professionally as Lexa, was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro on February 22, 1995, to music producer Darlin Ferrattry.

The stage name "Lexa" was created by adding an 'x' to her birth-name, Léa as a tribute to Brazilian presenter Xuxa Meneghel.

Later that year Lexa launched a second song,"Parra de Marra" whose music video was released the following month.

The album consists of thirteen tracks and includes compositions from Naldo Benny, Umberto Tavares, Batutinha and the artist herself.

In 2022, Lexa and MC Guimê performed together dressed as Maria Bonita and Lampião in the reality singing competition The Masked Singer Brasil.
