Student Spotlight: Lex Bauman — Turning Volume Up on the Dream

March 23, 2026

Some students take lessons. Lex Bauman is building a career. Watch his full video interview

From the moment he picked up a guitar at nine years old, Lex knew exactly what he was looking at: something awesome. A year later, he added vocals. Now? He’s not just playing music, he’s writing it, recording it, releasing it, and chasing it full force.

This is what it looks like when passion gets serious.

Lex currently balances his schedule through Whitmore’s asynchronous online program, giving him the flexibility to focus on what matters most: making music. And he’s using that time well. He already has multiple original songs available on streaming platforms, along with music videos that bring his sound to life.

This isn’t a “someday” artist. This is happening right now.

Like every real musician, the journey didn’t start easy. Early on, it was the physical grind—sore fingers, building calluses, pushing through the uncomfortable stage where most people quit. But Lex didn’t.

And that’s where the difference shows.

“Just don’t give up on what you really care about,” he says. “If you really love it, don’t get discouraged.”

That mindset carried him from beginner to recording artist—and it’s exactly what we see in students who go the distance.

Lex is also quick to point out something a lot of young musicians miss: YouTube can only take you so far. Real growth happens when you’re in the room, learning from experienced teachers, picking up the details—the “secret skills”—that shape you into a real musician.

At Music Royale, Lex found more than lessons. He found a community.

From Open Mic Nights to Rock School, he’s been in the mix—performing, collaborating, and figuring out what it really means to be in a band. Rock School, especially, was a turning point. It gave him his first real band experience and helped lock in his direction.

“That’s when it clicked—this is what I want to do.”

And he means it.

Lex’s long-term plan? Go all in. Music first. No hesitation.

One of his biggest accomplishments so far has been working on his own record—stepping back and realizing, I made this. That moment hits different. It’s not practice anymore. It’s real.

Behind the scenes, he’s also diving into music videos—long days, hard work, but something he genuinely enjoys. Because when you love it, the grind becomes part of the reward.

His influences? Legends and lifers. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Butch Walker. Tuck Smith. Artists who built careers on authenticity, energy, and staying power.

And that’s exactly the lane Lex is stepping into.

At the core of it all, he credits the people who helped him get there—especially his teachers, Scott Gorsuch and Phil Smith. That mentorship, that connection, that guidance—it matters.
