About Me
About Me:
Luxurious AKA Ms.G-Lux but to friends and family known as LeeLee, was born Lenora C.
Whiteside on September 26, 1990 in Columbus Ohio. At the age of 2 she moved to
Orlando FL with her mother (Poet and Spoken Word Artist, Lenora Love Whiteside) and
two older siblings. (ShaVonne Andrews and Mozella AKA Molly)
After 3 years of living in Orlando she and her mother and siblings moved to Daytona
Beach and it was then, at the age of 6, she began dancing in and out of the church and
singing in the choir. " I never concidered myself a *singer*" she recalls, " my older sister
Delly (now known as ShaVonne Andrews) was always the singer in the family, I never
thought I could sing" she laughed.
It wasn't until 2001, when she was 11, when she and her older sister ShaVonne Andrews
did a jingle for PAYLESS where she co-wrote and song on the track, that it was pointed
out that she could sing. "When Matt (music engineer) told me that I could sing like
REALLY good..I literally busted out laughing and was like YEA RIGHT!!..lol It wasn't until I
heard the finished project that I relized that he wasnt lying" she explained.
The following year after she turned 12, Luxurious, her mother(The famous Poet and
Spoken Word Artist, Lenora Love Whiteside) and her sister returned to Sound Mind Studio
to record with Matt, but this time not with a jingle, but with a song she also co-wrote
with ShaVonne Andrews. It was a song called "Harder Times" which spoke about teenage
pregnacies, not finishing school and minimum wage jobs. " We wanted to write a song
that pointed out things that was happening more and more to our friends, family and
just our whole community really", she and ShaVonne explained. ''In the song I sung and
rapped!! It was my first time rappin' on a track but it ALWAYS came so naturally to me"
she laughed.
The song, to family and friends was a hit, but was never really heard by the public for
UNKNOWN reasons. For the next couple of years Luxurious and ShaVonne recorded
songs and was AT FIRST going to form a group until it was settled that they would be
solo artists and go separate ways. ShaVonne decided to be solely a gospel artist and
Luxurious decided to be hip hop and r&b.
"Luxurious was not my original stage name, I went through sooo many different names
its funny" she laughed. Her first name she went by was HOLLYWOOD. "People used to
always say that I belonged in Hollywood, so that's where we got that one from" she
explain. "Then came Lil' Red and Lil' Lyrical but none of them seen to really workfor me.
Lil Red was too common and people used to call me Lyrical because I wrote all my own
songs and raps but I wasn't feelin' em" she said.
It wasn't until 2005, when she and her sister ShaVonne was playin around and said " you
think u sooo luxurious, huh??...lol", she began calling herself LUXURIOUS. Then later that
year she wrote a song called "Ghetto Luxury" and thus Ms. G-Lux came about.
"Now that I'm more experienced and I know my craft ALOT better I consider myself more
so a RAPPER that can SING, then a SINGER that can rap" she declares. She's mostly known
for her "TAKE IT LIKE U WANNA" attitude and her mature look and lyrics.
Luxurious had many talents from singing and rapping to poetry, acting and dancing.
After getting her high school diploma at the end of this year, she plans on goin to
college to get a degree in business, then going to Full Sail in Orlando to learn more
about engineering and producing. ''After I get all old and I cant even fall back on
modeling...I'll just be behind the scenes!!!" she laughs " but either way, music is my
passion! I can get down to anythang from country to pop...lol...so I just plan on being in
the industry for a long, long time!" she says. And with her talent, I dont see why thats
not possible. Add to My Profile | More Videos
