South East London born and bred, JAGO XYEN is about using his art and lyrics to challenge the detriments of society, and touch on how we must change ourselves as people to change our world for the better. The name JAGO derives from the Cornish name of “James” and XYEN being a play on the word “Zen” which means Peace. His name thus takes on the meaning of “Peace King” as it embodies the identity of a high standard person who leads with peace.
JAGO has always had a passion for performing at a young age, performing in plays and then performing his poetry live. Being influenced by lyricists such as Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, and Nas, JAGO XYEN wears his influences on his sleeve, whilst also carving his own lane and pushing the boundaries of hip hop with a variety of flows, rhyme schemes and unique wordplay and delivery. Most importantly, he aims to spread a conscious message of peace and empowerment.South East London born and bred, JAGO XYEN is about using his art and lyrics to challenge the detriments of society, and touch on how we must change ourselves as people to change our world for the better.
