\"XO<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hailing from Stoke On Trent, 18 year old producer\/songwriter Sunil Heera, aka. XO is just approaching his debut release with backing from many a music aficionado. Having streamed two original tracks earlier this year ‘Whats Luv’ featuring Emma Corbett-Usher and ‘Holdin ON’ featuring RobLaw, both captured attention from the likes of\u00a0MNEK, Cyril Hahn, SOHN, Oliver Heldens, Secondcity and Stwo.\u00a0Fast forward to the present day and he\u2019s gained a sound which is very much his own. Fusing together elements of trip hop, house and RnB influences with his signature colourful production.\u00a0His highly anticipated debut EP will certainly portray XO in a light that is yet to be seen. It is a testament to the fact that he is a formidable\u00a0emerging force to be reckoned with and having stepped out of his comfort zone, he is ready to unleash the fruits of his labour.<\/p>\n

Here we get under Heera’s skin hearing a little about his favourite tracks:<\/p>\n

Jai Paul \u2013 \u201cBTSTU\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember hearing this for the first time a few years back and just being blown away by the fact it was so raw and cutting edge. Jai\u2019s style was something I had never come across before and I loved the mystery behind the whole project.
