Xeno’s unique sound further enhanced by his songwriting, recording, mixing, & mastering skills, formally trained as a sound engineer.

He also has a strong network having relationships with household names from all over the world.

SOUL SEARCHING

His second release of 2020, ‘Soul Searching' is the spiritual successor to Xeno's biggest release to date ‘Legacy Freestyle.’ With ‘Soul Searching' Xeno was able to both follow up and build upon the success of its predecessor while actually surpassing it as his most streamed song. Sonically, it’s a slowly building track that incorporates Xeno's marquee melodic flow and lyricism as well as even more of the cinematic instrumentation that helped make 'Legacy Freestyle' special. Equally cinematic, the video by Matt Dziadecki encapsulates the mood of the track with its subtle effects and moody shots of Downtown Toronto.

LEGACY FREESTYLE

Part of his big summer 2019 run in which he released two freestyles, 'Legacy Freestyle' was a surprise hit for Xeno with around 300,000 views on Facebook and over 100,000 streams on major platforms. The start of Xeno’s freestyle series in which he raps continuously over songs without stopping for a chorus, 'Legacy Freestyle' serves as an important marker in his growth as an artist. With a confident, melodic delivery and lyrics that deeply resonate with his audience, 'Legacy Freestyle' is still among Xeno’s best songs to date.
