Manny XO

Manny XO is an Afropop artist, songwriter, producer and visual storyteller whose music pulls from Afroswing, R&B, dancehall, reggae, hip-hop and pop. His sound is shaped by Ghanaian roots, Spanish musical textures and the UK environment around him, often bringing acoustic guitars, rhythmic experimentation and unexpected influences into the mix. His records move between laid-back grooves, dancefloor energy and more reflective moments, touching on love, relationships, ambition, identity, family, migration, gratitude and everyday life. He writes, produces, engineers and mixes his own music, giving each release a distinctly personal feel. That same music often extends into his film work, where songs are reshaped and reinterpreted to support visual storytelling rather than treated as a separate musical identity. Previously known as DMO and signed to Universal Music Spain, Manny later reemerged as Manny XO with a clearer sense of his own voice and creative direction. His latest project, Mannyfest, brings those different sides together in one body of work.
