Lemoyne Alexander is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a love for all things music. With experience in the rap, R&B and rock world, music has always been a part of his life but now he’s making what he wants how he wants. Playing and creating it brings him joy and the only thing that brings him more joy is sharing the music with others. On his new single “Insecurity” he talks about some personal things he dealt with and hopes it inspires others to deal with their own situations too. He plays every instrument on this track, making it truly his vision both sonically and conceptually.
The song “Insecurity” is an alternative rock pop song or as Lemoyne calls it and his other solo music “Alternative comprehensive rock.” Originally, he had no intentions to flesh it out to a full song but as time went on it all just came together cohesively. Self doubt is the throughline of the song and he hopes by expressing his own, others will be able to get through theirs.
“Insecurity weaves a pervasive thread, casting shadows of self-doubt and holding you captive. It undermines your confidence and stifles your potential. It [the song] is a way to make people not fear their insecurities but understand them.”
The first music video for “Insecurity” is animated which adds to the song’s uniqueness. Lemoyne has plans to record a traditional music video for the track too but after some discussions with his manager, they concluded beginning with the animated one would be a good idea.
Being able to play music by ear is something Lemoyne has always been able to do - he can read and write it too. He spoke of music coming to his mind through dreams which often leads him to recording voice notes in the middle of the night or actually going into the studio. Lemoyne plays a variety of instruments but the guitar is the one he learned - or rather taught himself to play - first. He’s been playing guitar since around the 7th grade and as time went on, he taught himself more and more instruments. It took him eight hours to record all the instruments on “Insecurity.”
“I mastered the guitar and was hearing other elements in the songs. So I said ‘Let me try this instrument or that instrument.’ A lot of people were not projecting what I wanted to do in a song so I learned to do it myself.”
For years, Lemoyne has been a mainstay in the music industry, witnessing first hand the myriad challenges and triumphs that accompany the creative process. From his early days producing for a diverse array of rappers and R&B artists, he has encountered both skepticism and unwavering support for his unconventional approach to music. While initial setbacks tested his resolve, he ultimately found solace and fulfillment in pursuing his own artistic vision, showcasing the transformative power of self-belief in the face of insecurity. As the years went on, he happily watched this genre fusion become a subgenre itself, calling it “brilliant.” Lemoyne was also once part of a band called St8 Of Grace.
In the realm of alternative rock, the emergence of St8 Of Grace marked a significant chapter in the musical landscape of Lemoyne. As this was his first venture into the genre, the band ignited a passion that left an unforgettable imprint. Evolved into the arrival of Black Light Theory, an enigmatic duo born from the members of St8 Of Grace, ushered in a new era of introspective and personal musical expression, solidifying Lemoyne's place in the alternative rock tapestry.
