Fam Fest "A Celebration of Love!"
FamFest is presently celebrating its 16th annual family festival schedule for October 26 and 27th 2012 at the Arawak Cay Festival Site under the theme “A Celebration of LOVE”. Since the launch of FAMFEST in 1996 our annual event has established itself internationally attracting thousands to its musical gospel celebrations and entertaining millions of televised audiences locally and internationally through BET and TEMPO television networks.
There is nothing in the world other than music and love that has the power to transform the way we bring people together.
Famfest 2K12 is ultimately proud of the fact that we are able to take music and love and turn it into an unforgettable, uniquely Bahamian experience that celebrates our Lord and King, Jesus Christ. Since 1996, Famfest have attracted thousands upon thousands of excited visitors as this international tourist hotspot has been the platform for many international and local performing artists.
In terms of sustaining and elevating this form of unity through gospel entertainment and evangelistic ministry, through business and the employment of a massive talent pool of musicians, engineers and vendors and in terms of attracting a fairly large amount of visitors to the region; the role of Famfest as the premier platform for the Bahamian gospel industry comes over loud and clear.
LEXI's Bio
Singing in her grandfather’s church since she was old enough to hold a microphone; Lexi has always understood that singing praises to God was what she was born to do.
Having sang all her life, Lexi also had a passion for the stage that began to blossom during her undergraduate studies at Bowling Green State University, majoring in Interpersonal Communications and having a minor in Theatre. Later, she was able to use her degree as a teacher at Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio.
Lexi’s heart for singing led her to land a small stint as a background vocalist for the Gerald LeVert, Fred Hammond, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, before realizing her own destiny, in which she would have a musical ministry of her own.
Lexi met and married Michael Allen, a music producer, who helped develop her writing and vocal ability to create her own musical sound. Michael Allen, helped Lexi release three national recording projects to date. Lexi and her husband were the first gospel music act to sign to boxing champion Evander Holyfield’s record label.
While on Evander’s label the two created a unique sound on the 2004 critically acclaimed project, “A Praise in the Valley”.
That album landed Lexi a Stellar Gospel Music Award nomination. Lexi’s latest album “What Heaven Hears” was released soon thereafter in 2005. However, that marriage and musical magic soon ended with Michael’s untimely death. Having their son, Lexi was, without her husband, without focus, and without direction, but she wasn’t without God.
In early 2006 an opportunity presented itself in which Lexi became the “face” of the network The Word Network. Lexi was thrust before forty million households in the United States, seen by forty million viewers in over 200 countries around the world as well, and Lexi began to blossom into a name that would be easily recognized.
The birth of the “The Lexi Show”, a one on one style talk show, became Lexi’s new endeavor. The Lexi Show proved to be a groundbreaking success for the network. Some of Black Hollywoods elite and gospel music A-List have shared intimate conversation with Lexi on screen.
Currently Lexi, can be seen co-hosting on the Bobby Jones show on BET and she can be heard reporting the latest news on the Radio One syndicated program “The Yolanda Adams Morning Radio Show” every week. Lexi is also featured on the BET show, "Lift Every Voice", every week a correspondent.
