About

Spirit of a folk artist.

Heart of an emcee.

Pen of a poet.

Escaping the rush culture of downtown Los Angeles in 2017, I journeyed to the high desert, Joshua Tree, CA with an acoustic guitar and a microphone.

The music style is intentionally raw and bare bones. No special effects, no tricks or trends. Just desert grit, stoned poetics, and raw magic. 

My background in music stems from various groups and projects since the late 90's, all raw and all underground in nature. 

- Illa-Dapted - alternative hip hop

- The Chilla - acoustic rock/rap

- Pic Vicious - electro rock/rap

- Got Damage - alternative rap 

- PNG. - glitch rap

Palo Xanto is my first official solo endeavor. Stay tuned as the journey continues.
