Fantastic Negrito Biography

Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an American singer-songwriter specializing in blues, R&B, and roots music. A three-time Grammy Award winner, he has been recognized in the category of "Best Contemporary Blues Album" for his albums including "The Last Days of Oakland", "Please Don’t Be Dead", and "Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?".

Fantastic Negrito's music invites listeners to engage with his story of life after destruction, encompassing the highs of a million-dollar record deal, the lows of a near-fatal car accident that left him in a coma, and a significant rebirth. His journey from the streets of Oakland to the world stage is reflected in his music, which is deeply rooted in black roots music, utilizing instruments like slide guitar, drums, and piano to produce a sound that is urgent, desperate, and edgy.

In addition to his music career, Negrito is actively involved in community initiatives. He runs the Storefront Market, a monthly marketplace in West Oakland that is free to the public, and operates Revolution Plantation, a farm on his Oakland property where he teaches gardening and sustainable practices. His contributions to music and community enrichment are further highlighted by his ability to engage in various event activities, including panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and meet-and-greets, tailoring his presentations to match the theme, industry, or specific audience of the event. His latest musical contributions include the singles "Root City" and "Rolling Through California". Negrito continues to influence both the music and social spheres from his base in California.
