January Blues Festival Welcomes Fantastic Negrito
The January Blues Festival is excited to announce that 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner, Fantastic Negrito, will be headlining two exclusive concerts in London. Born as Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, Fantastic Negrito's story is one of resilience and the transformative power of music.
Having overcome various challenges in his life, including a major label deal gone wrong and a near-fatal car accident that impacted his ability to play the guitar, Fantastic Negrito rose to fame after winning the first-ever NPR Tiny Desk Contest in 2015.
Since then, he has garnered three GRAMMY® Awards for 'Best Contemporary Blues Album' and has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Sturgill Simpson, Chris Cornell, and Bruce Springsteen. Additionally, Fantastic Negrito has collaborated with Sting, E-40, and Tank and The Bangas, and has performed at major festivals worldwide.
