Lex Allen performs "Shine" with Barbara Stephan Music & WorldWideDG
WorldWideDG original music is written from his life experiences and dreams, and his life has not always been easy. That’s an understatement. His songs have an honest intensity and catchy vibe that virtually anyone can enjoy. He transcends genres for sure. To see him live, playing the guitar and singing impressive melodies and rhymes about life, love and happiness, is unforgettable. WorldWideDG is not ashamed of where he has been and what he’s been through. You can feel the potent mixture of confidence and humility in his songs. His talent and ambitious goals are legit. DG, the songwriter, singer, musician and actor, truly is an artist!
Dark, cinematic and beautiful - Deputi and World Wide DG team up on Threaded. Full of deep textures and soaring vocal melodies, Threaded is an experience in a genre that is hard to describe. Lyrics and vocals by WorldWide DG. Produced by Dave Olson & Scott Radke of Deputi. Additional production by Dylan Taugher. Album artwork by Jonna Olson.

Barbara Stephan brings a far-reaching variety of experiences, styles, sounds, and talent to her recordings and performances that is fun, refreshing, uplifting, innovative, bold, and sassy. Yet simultaneously, for all her ingenuity and modernity, Barbara reaches back to the days of old – back to the R&B and soul that put the likes of Memphis and Detroit on the music scene map – for her fountain of inspiration. She makes it all look seamless – so natural and easy – this is certainly going to put her on the map as one of the must-see shows of the year.

Lex Allen, is a Soul Pop singer/songwriter that connects all ages, genders, genres and races at his over the top emotional roller-coaster of a live show. Lex creates musical space for those who need something to help through the hurt and connects with those who need to hear something inspiring to help them see their self worth. He makes music for that 5 a.m. listener who needs something loud and maybe a little ratchet to get them through their day. Allen's music breathes love and liberation.
Rock the Green is excited to have Lex Allen back on the 'stream' and he will be performing his amazing song 'Shine' for everyone which will drop on July 29th
