When the industry embraces negativity and violence, artist Ayo Xo devotes his career to uplifting and spreading positivity to his fans.

Nigerian born Joseph Olufarati, has grown into the Texas artist known to many by the stage name Ayo Xo. Combining his middle name ‘Ayo’ and the expression of faith in his career with the symbolic ‘Xo,’ his name became one that resonated with fans he never knew he’d touch. Having a taste of music in 2019 with his first song release, Ayo Xo wasn’t ready for all the positive feedback that would be given by strangers who instantly became fans. That wave was jeopardized in 2020 when Ayo Xo fell ill and had to be hospitalized, but that in itself was all a part of fate’s plans. Ayo Xo would be tended to by a doctor that listened to his music and encouraged the young artist to continue believing in himself and chase his dreams.
