My music has the power to change peoples existing listening habit being quirky and expressive. It’s like listening to a story teller and feeling that you know the character like your best friend by the end. The genres in my music blend into each other taking influence from the most intimate, delicate acoustic sets to the most powerful rock bands visiting everything from hip hop to electro to ska along the way. Whether it’s the beat that becomes infectious or the lyrics that stop you in your tracks every second of every set I do commands attention. The tracks evoke every emotion from energetic to empathetic, I want my character to come across in my music and touch every single person who witnesses my work. My full band makes my sound complete as every single strum of the guitar and kick of the drum is conducted and appreciated to be entertainment itself. We work together in harmony providing a live show brimming with enthusiasm.

Being a cardigan-clad, bow tie wearing, barrier breaking artist who is as comfortable with a guitar as a heavy bassline is the best job in the world. I am an outspoken lyrical individual that is interested in creating something with staying power. Rewarded for my hard work in December 2008 I won Hugo Urban Rules defeating hundreds of hopefuls and impressing industry execs. I performed on the MTV broadcast show alongside the Sugababes. Although my love for music began many years prior to winning, this was when the real journey started. The track that got me there is titled “Microwave”which I recorded and filmed the video for in early 2009.

The last twelve months have been a roller coaster ride of progress, consisting of:
• Getting the support and links from world renowned producer and DJ Arthur Baker.
• Increasing his fan base tenfold (Shout out to existing fans he wouldn’t be here without you).
• His single “Microwave” has been played and supported by the Radio 1 DJ Rob-da-Bank.
• Performing at Bestival, Big Chill, and MTV Europe Amsterdam.
• Most viewed music video in 1 day on youtube in the UK.
• Hosting his very own “Nothing to Launch party” which saw the famous London venue Sosho filled to the brim with fans supporting his music
• Securing a contract with international company Nokia to write and rap over a new animation project.
• The planning and creating of the sensational EP that will be dropping in Spring 2010.
• This is a collective of the finest talent spearheaded by myself, I believe XO Man is not just an artist, it’s a movement.
