Tik Toker Lexy Messina is our guest on the Chord Progression Podcast today.

We close be previewing 2022 with her, and how it already started out with a bang thanks to Kleaver Klothing.   Find Lexy Online: Twitter: https://twitter.com/MessinaLexy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/messinalexy/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@messinalexy?lang=en LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/messinalexy   Thank you to our sponsor Custom Debuts: h
