Fantastic Negrito aka Xavier Dphrepaulezz, if you remember, won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest in 2015. He had played in various bands he led throughout the years, but also spent a large portion of his life as a club owner, gun runner, coke dealer and petty thief. A car accident left him badly mangled and he had given up music forever, until his son was born. He submitted his contest video at the behest of friends, tapping into a core Blues tradition from his youth.
