Bexter Richardson, also known as “Bex,” is a Liberian-American dual personality with excellent skills in the music industry, Information Technology, and social welfare. Having explored the Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, R&B, and reggae, among other music genres with melodious throat-hooking tunes, BEX stands out as a versatile artist and an entrepreneur. Born in the United States, he has devoted his love for innovation and empowered projects to amplify inventions that would make a difference in society through Fourscore Technologies, a tech company, and the LiBx Records Foundation, a non-profit organization that empowers and transforms the lives of youths of Liberia. Now, Bex is poised to unveil his most ambitious project yet: the “B3X” app, through which he shares not only songs with fans worldwide but through which he makes a real socio-economic revolution in Liberia.
From Music To Technology: The Journey Of An Artist And Entrepreneur
Bex takes a very long journey which entails his heritage connecting his Liberian background with his American culture. The soft melodic singer cannot be boxed into any specific genre as some of his music produce a dance feeling with an infectious beat while others may produce the deep jazz feel; these qualities make him the ideal candidate for the Mr. International album series. Since the release of Mr. International II, early in Spring 2025, Bex is going to give his audience not only splendid tunes but unite cultures of the world.
But, for Bex, music starts and ends there, although one has big dreams in store. About Bit, through the technology company he owns; Fourscore Technologies that focuses on IT network and cybersecurity solutions he has learned how technology can enable change for people and groups. In 2020, he also took a pivotal part in establishing the LiBx Records Foundation, which is a charitable organisation with an objective of empowering deserving and talented young people in Liberia originating from poor background. LiBx Records is a rehabilitation program for Liberian youths, education and career progression opportunity; this is an indication of the Bex’s corporate social responsibility.

Profits from “B3X” memberships are directed toward the $1 Billion Venture, a visionary initiative aimed at raising $1 billion over five years to invigorate Liberia’s private sector.

The $1 Billion Venture: A Plan to Empower Liberia’s Private Sector
The cornerstone of the “B3X” app is its support for the $1 Billion Venture, which seeks to raise substantial funds to create sustainable business and investment opportunities within Liberia. The funds are intended to stimulate key sectors in Liberia’s economy and address foundational challenges faced by the nation. This plan is focused on the 5-Es, a set of pillars designed to foster Liberia’s growth and prosperity:
- Education: Central to Liberia’s future is quality education. Bex plans to invest in trade schools and mental health education to empower young people, especially those affected by substance abuse. With around 20% of Liberia’s youth population struggling with drug addiction, rehabilitation centers are essential to Bex’s vision of a renewed Liberia.
- E-Infrastructure and Healthcare: Access to quality healthcare is limited in Liberia, and Bex believes that a healthy society is foundational to economic progress. This sector will focus on improving healthcare facilities, leveraging technology, and ensuring accessible health services for all.
- Electricity: The limited access to consistent power supply hampers Liberia’s development potential. Through investments in renewable energy technologies and improved electricity distribution, Bex envisions a brighter future with stable power that can fuel businesses, homes, and schools.
- Entrepreneurship: Inspired by platforms like “Shark Tank,” Bex aims to create opportunities for Liberian entrepreneurs. By offering mentorship, funding, and strategic support, Bex’s initiative will nurture business ideas, helping entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality while encouraging them to give back a small portion of their profits to the community.
- Entertainment and Sports: Bex sees immense potential in Liberia’s entertainment and sports sectors. Guided by the proverb, “A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men,” Bex plans to support young Liberians with talent in music, arts, and sports, fostering an environment where creativity thrives and global opportunities are within reach.
What’s Next For Bex?
Looking ahead, Bex is gearing up to release Mr. International II, the follow-up to his celebrated album, which is slated for Spring 2025. This new album promises to reflect his ever-evolving artistry and commitment to bridging cultures through music. But more than just a musician, Bex has become a force for transformative change, challenging the boundaries of what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. His music, technology ventures, and philanthropic projects reveal a bold vision to uplift not only Liberia but also the broader African diaspora.
The “B3X” app marks a new chapter in Bex’s journey, merging his artistry with his aspirations for Liberia. As he works toward the $1 billion goal, Bex is calling on the world to join him in his mission to spark a sustainable revolution.
