ARE YOU GAY? .
​
a dystopian club/funk record built around the invasive, common question “Are you gay?” Sexuality is no one’s business unless they want to have sex with you, yet the question is asked constantly. The protagonist refuses to be boxed and answers without answering, ending with the line: “I’m what I want to be.”
DUMB BITCH JUICE .
​
a bouncy, juicy, voluptuous record, telling the story of a dumb bitch ... simple. I ain't got time.
GOODIE GOODIE .
​
a FUNK YOU anthem made with pure
love. Id like to think of it as a declaration of separation from what does not serve your soul any longer (if it ever did).
PRETTY BABY BOI .
​
a prelude to the realization that I am the love thy self. It's a funky take on self-embodied authenticity or one might call it a raunchy rhythmic riddle. Enlightenment expressed from a perspective that the world does not often see. The perspective of thee ... pretty baby boi!
I II III IV .
​
a reflection of self is what I would call this record. A narration of one finally giving my soul back to me. A dedicated lover to thine self. I see the light in me now. Now I will be here, in the present whenever my soul calls.I see me from the inside out. Shining like a mother fucking disco ball
soul team
When dreaming up this project, the team I would manifest to help bring this creation to life was very important.
Meet Sunny Harlow and Phoenix.
We didn’t meet through an email asking for rates, but through divine intervention— a soul request for collaboration rooted in love. The stars aligned us through one good conversation during a jam session at a kava bar in Tulum, Mexico. What were the odds it was only his second day there? From that moment, I knew something magical would be created.
Later, he connected me with a wonderful design stylist with a divine eye named Phoenix, who has a truly magical heart. I knew that with Phoenix as photo assistant and assistant stylist, my vision would be supported with care and intention.
Lastly, meet me — XOHN — the talent, creative director, and lead stylist within this dream.
My focus was to create big-energy images with a physically small team, encapsulating the Second Coming of soul.
Kings and Queens, I present to you
