As a mother of two, I know nothing brings more joy to the heart of a parent than to see their children smile. Whether that's because they have achieved a milestone, or simply because they are happy, there is nothing more fulfilling. That is why people like Kirrawee resident Alexi Collins – also known as The Lex Man – are so important. A former member of pop bank Tigertown, Alexi – who also works as a school teacher – will launch his new kids' music artist project at Sutherland Arts Theatre this Saturday, June 24. It's an exciting achievement not only for Alexi, but also for the many children in the local area. Alexi said his journey from touring the world and supporting major acts like Panic at the Disco, to creating his alter ego The Lex Man, was a natural life progression. When his wife Jordanne, went back to full time work, Alexi became the primary carer for their two children. He started writing songs for fun for his children but realised it could be part of a larger project. Congratulations Alexi and I'm sure The Lex Man is going to be a big hit with children.
