Long bio
THE REAL XO — Love Is Agony. XO is an independent artist from Salt Lake City, Utah — the 801. He records and releases everything himself: the LIGHTS/CAMRAS/ACTION EP (2024) and a run of singles including Bubblegum kisses (xoxo) — his #1 song, produced by rafaki — LATE NIGHT (801 Version), HIGH, and Sonic cypher, plus the Special Version cuts with LIL VRO C, RAYZ, P Yugoki, Ver$ay, and Vxmpire. The name of the whole thing is the tagline: Love Is Agony. The music is explicit and honest about it — heartbreak, late nights, and the city that raised him. Around the music: photography by @sexonperks, family at @whywisdom, the Late Night video shot and edited by @whoshotwisdom. XO also runs @ibreathepainkillers.
