Fantastic Negrito is a black roots music artist hailing from Oakland, California. His unique blend of blues with a punk attitude has captivated audiences worldwide. Formerly known as Xavier, Fantastic Negrito's music is a powerful expression of his personal experiences and struggles.

With his raw and soulful sound, Fantastic Negrito brings an authentic and captivating energy to the stage. His music resonates with people from all walks of life, transcending boundaries and connecting on a deep emotional level.

Whether he's performing solo or with his band, Fantastic Negrito delivers an electrifying live performance that leaves audiences wanting more. With each song, he tells a story that reflects the realities of our society while offering hope and inspiration for change.

"Blues with a punk attitude" is the tagline on Fantastic Negrito's website, and it's not an empty slogan. The Bay Area singer-songwriter, a.k.a. Xavier Dphrepaulezz, infuses Last Days Of Oakland with slide guitar drenched in overdrive, not to mention a hard-bitten perspective on life, love, art, commerce, class and society. It's an outlook he's earned. Before winning NPR's Tiny Desk Contest in 2015, he'd spent years in painful physical therapy, struggling to regain the use of his body following a car accident in 2000 that left him in a coma for weeks. Appropriately, Last Days Of Oakland is among the rawest pieces of music — sonically and emotionally — you'll hear all year. But it's also the work of a craftsman, full of subtlety and sophistication, along with the kind of scars that only a survivor can flaunt.
