At the age of 3, Dexter began singing in a church choir, and in the following year, he began playing harmonica and keyboards. "I grew up in church and knowing Christ," he told Risen Magazine. "My mother and father were very involved and I got my foundation from the church. Plus, I grew up singing and playing the harmonica in church. Now it is about growing in my faith and really [having] my own view as I grow into adulthood."
