Fantastic Negrito Writes With Truth, Says His Story Is the American Dream

When Bay Area songwriter and performer, Fantastic Negrito (born Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz), writes new music, he thinks of his children. He thinks, “What would they think of me?” So, in his work, which has taken him around the world and earned millions of streams and as many moments of applause, Negrito aims to infuse knowledge. He wants his kids to hear his music at whatever age it finds them and think their father was fearless, that he said what needed to be said, popular or not. So far, however, Negrito is popular and that attention has come after some almost incompressible life experiences. Many of which he sings about on his forthcoming album, Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?, out August 14th.
