According to his official website, Fantastic Negrito takes inspiration for his music from his own amazing life story.

He taught himself how to play various instruments by the age of 20. After a violent run in with masked gunmen in Oakland, Negrito left for L.A. to salvage his dreams of becoming a professional musician and was soon distracted by lifestyle choices that compromised his ability to create music he believed in. His struggle to find his way as an artist was interrupted by a car accident that almost killed him. His injuries took 8 years to heal.

It was a few more years before found his true artistic voice.

After the accident he devoted himself to a life based on natural living and spiritual development and he focused on clearly identifying his life philosophy as a man on this Earth. Then he was blessed with a child. After his son was born his new outlook on the future filled him with a renewed sense of purpose and hope and the music flowed out of him and into the world.

The official website for Fantastic Negrito says it best, “When you listen to Negrito, you’re invited to hear the story of life after destruction. Your dream can die. You probably will give up. But from there, you can start everything over.”
