Lexa Gates is an emerging niche music artist known for her unique sound, often blending genres like indie pop, electronic, and alternative. In order to make a statement while promoting a new album, she trapped herself in a glass box. In this ambitious promotion stunt, an art installation popped up in Union Square in Brooklyn where Gates sat inside a glass box for 10 hours straight without food, water, phone or a toilet break. All she could do was sit on a couch or listen to her new debut album; ‘Elite Vessel’ with her fans. When asked about the interesting album title, Gates replied, “‘Elite Vessel’ is more than just a title. It’s a manifestation of everything I’m striving to become. I am the vessel, and this album represents my journey toward everything I’ve ever dreamed of. It’s a surreal feeling.”
