Alexander Oswald Mowbray, better known as Lecky, is shaking up the Australian music scene with his distinctive fusion of rap and R&B. Born on November 8, 2002, this Aussie-Fijian artist has come a long way from scribbling rhymes in his notebook at 7 to dropping albums that have critics and fans alike sitting up and taking notice.
Lecky’s path to musical stardom wasn’t exactly paved with gold. Growing up in a tough environment, including his dad’s stint behind bars and a subsequent placement in foster care by child services, Lecky found his escape in music. It was his brother who first put a guitar in his hands, igniting a spark that would eventually blaze into a full-fledged musical inferno.
By the time he hit 14, Lecky was already tinkering with music production. Fast forward to July 4, 2020, and he was cranking out his first single. At sweet sixteen, he dropped his debut track, setting the stage for what would become a one-man musical powerhouse. These days, Lecky’s got his fingers in every pie – producing, mixing, writing, and performing his own tunes.
Lecky’s musical journey has been nothing short of a whirlwind. His sophomore album, ‘Lovers 2 Enemies’, hit the shelves in November 2023 under his own label, LeckyENT. It was this album that really put him on the map, spawning earworms like “Love & Lust”, “Goku”, and “Volkanovski”. Riding that wave, Lecky didn’t miss a beat, releasing his third studio album, ‘Enemies 2 Lovers’, on February 10, 2024. This 16-track banger further cemented his spot in the industry with crowd-pleasers like ‘Secrets’, ‘Sea of Emotion’, ‘Lucky Night’, and ‘Apart’.
What really sets Lecky apart from the pack is his unwavering commitment to keeping it real. His music is like an open book, each track a chapter from his life story. His creative process is a bit of a wild ride – he’ll lay down a beat and then just let the words flow, freestyle. Sometimes it’s a quick 20-minute jam session, other times it’s a weeks-long labor of love.
When he’s not doing his solo thing, Lecky’s also part of LeckyENT, a hip hop collective out of Melbourne, showing he’s just as comfortable vibing with a crew as he is flying solo.
Looking ahead, Lecky’s got his sights set on his next big project – ‘Always & Forever Vol. 1’, set to drop on his birthday, November 8, 2024. If his track record is anything to go by, this one’s bound to be another game-changer.
With each new release, Lecky seems to level up, keeping his fans on their toes and hungry for more. His relentless drive to push his artistic boundaries is something to behold.
For those keen to follow Lecky’s journey and catch his latest drops, you can find him on Instagram, SoundCloud, and Spotify.
In an industry that often feels overly polished and manufactured, Lecky’s raw talent and genuine approach are a breath of fresh air. His story isn’t just about making music – it’s a testament to the power of perseverance and staying true to oneself, no matter the odds.
