We had the good fortune of connecting with Lex Orozco -Cabral Orozco- Cabral and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lex Orozco -Cabral, what do you attribute your success to?
For me the most important factor of my success is authenticity. Real Latino boy meets real authentic Mundo. I am fully transparent with my sexuality my views, my outlook . I am unapologetically Mexican. I am Polarizing I am controversial, but it’s not forced. I am this person. I don’t think I’m relatable, but I’m accessible , and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am both behind the camera and simultaneously in front. There is no one like me. I’m styling commercials then I’m cast as a lead in an international spot. I am custom making superhero costumes for Amazon prime. And then I’m co staring with Jlo in her new Music video. I’m definitely blessed. And I’m just counting my blessings. 1 production after the other.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would start at wasteland melrose. That is my LA treasure chest. We would Eat at Chiffa or Monarch my two new LA foodie joints.
We would linger the Jeremy hotel because it’s fucking fire.
We would hit Jeffrey dietch or Lacma art encompasses my entire Life.
We would skateboard at la brea tar pits as I love nature and being outside.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My story would not be written without Dennis Rodman. I grew up very old school Latino. I wasn’t allowed to wear certain things, Do certain things. But when I saw that man across my screen in 1994 I knew I wasn’t alone. That I wasn’t a freak there are others like me. He was fearless and I have curated my brand in his image ever since. Thank you for the representation
