Lexis Sharde’s love for story telling began as a young girl, developed from the bond she had with her father. He was the family clown. Exchanging stories, jokes and laughter was and still is their favorite way to pass time. Art, photography and broadcast media classes were always her first choice when it came down to filling up those free periods in high school. Literature was her favorite class amongst general studies.
While earning her under graduate credits for general courses at the University of Oregon, Lexis was still trying to figure out which path fit her best. After placing foot in Michael Salter’s Digital Arts 101 class, she found her path as an artist. Already amazed with the concept of photography, it was the ability to take a photograph and digitally enhance it, that sold Lexis on digital photography. As Lexis continued to develop her craft, she found herself on the mic at the college radio station. Her passion for hosting led her to 94.9 Jamz, Eugene, Oregon’s hip-hop station. Although her time there was short, she realized her voice was distinctive and her charisma left an impact on her listeners. She also began blogging and writing, amongst the approval of her peers she realized she had a way with words.
Shortly after graduation she took a chance by packing up and moving to Los Angeles. She began to build her resume with Transit TV Los Angeles by wearing many hats; as on camera personality, anchoring the News, hosting an entertainment show and voicing over commercials for various advertising clients; and as an editor, camera operator, graphic designer, producer and writer. Her time there allowed her to be even more well-rounded than she was before. To sharpen her hosting and writing skills, Lexis began taking classes at Upright Citizens Brigade. As she became more serious about writing a collegue, Cassie Winnett, suggested that she try stand-up comedy to test out her ideas on an audience. Cassie invited her to perform at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank for her weekly show and Lexis' comedy began to take off from there.
Lexis is motivated by the motto “living with no boundaries” and has decided to strive in comedy by obtaining all the knowledge and experience she possibly can. With no boundaries she is able to truly be creative and accomplish her mission; to put a smile on the faces she meets, whether by her stories or her charisma. Either way, she has left her mark.
