We're excited to welcome Lexi Hamner to the !

Lexi Hamner, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and versatile producer, hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, where she began her music studies at The School for Creative and Performing Arts. Lexi, also known as Lexicocoa, has played trombone for 16 years & has sang since the age of 4.

Her musical abilities led her to study with the likes of Peter Norton, former trombonist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the illustrious director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis, and other established artist during her former education. Lexi graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music as a Presidential Scholar and Sarah Vaughn scholarship recipient with a B.A. in Songwriting.

During her studies at Berklee, she was instructed by Tia Fuller, the world-renowned jazz saxophonist & composer. Since graduating, Lexi was chosen as one of the inaugural Next Jazz Legacy awardees of 2022 with New Music USA, where she was mentored by Terri Lynne Carrington & Bobby McFerrin. When Lexi is home in Cincinnati, she plays as 2nd chair in the Springfield Symphony Jazz Orchestra, teaches Black American Music to 4th-6th graders, and also instructs jazz trombone at the Cincinnati Jazz Academy.

Lexi has now toured with Janelle Monae as the lead trombonist since 2023. In the summer of 2024, she has opened with Ms. Monae for COLDPLAY’s “Music of the Spheres” World Tour. As Lexicocoa continues to grow in her artistry, she hopes to be so genuine that she inspires people to explore beyond the mundane traditions of music through her sound.
