About XO Muzik
Erika “XO Muzik” Nelson grew up in a broken home in Longview Tx, where she was the youngest of two siblings. Her mother struggle with a drug/alcohol addiction, so things were never calm around her house.
By age 10 her father was murdered. He was a big part of her life. His absence made XO feel alone. XO still managed to go to Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Tx after graduating from Longview High School.
Regardless of being unstable XO continued writing rhymes on a regular basis. Poetry was her first love during these times. At age 18 she joined ETP, a local record label that gave her experience as a recording artist.
Over time she joined different local record labels but neither of them was serious enough nor ready to take her to that next level. She was also a member of TheBLaze.fm band in the year 2004. Again, it was only more experience for XO as a growing artist.
By age 19, she was forced to leave home due to a dispute with her mother. XO became homeless. She moved from place to place until she got her own.
During the year 2005 she was introduced to AL-B, a member of THB, a rap group out of Palestine, Tx. They instantly became friends due to their love for music.
AL-B noticed something different about XO.
He put his rap dreams aside and became a manager figure to XO. He brought the best out in her with his track selection, determination and promotional skills.
She never let him down, she always delivered. Each track reassured AL-B that XO was the next Big Female Artist.
XO Muzik currently has four awards. She received two in 2011 the Best Hip-Hop Artist Award & Best Female Artist Award in Longview, Tx. In 2017 XO won Best Hip-Hop Artist at the Women in Charge Awards in Atlanta, Ga. 2018, XO won the “We Wurk” Award by www.virdiko.com in Dallas, Tx.
Currently, XO is working alone, promoting and marketing herself. She is traveling and doing many concerts revolving around her hit single “I.D.F.W.U” which drew lots of attention for XO since she recorded it in 2013. Over the years XO has done shows with artist such as Plies, Derrough, Z-Ro, Chalie Boy and many more.
XO has a Mixtape Out entitled XO TeXus hosted by Michael 5000 Watts that is available on **www.datpiff.com** for download. XO Separates herself from others who also have the same name as her by putting Muzik at the end so any time you see XO Muzik that is her the Queen of the Booth.
