X.O Senovae was born in California, USA to parents, both of whom were teachers. Of Ghanaian and Nigerian parentage, at an early age, his family relocated to Ghana where he lived until college. While in Ghana and at age ten 10, X.O’s father died. Growing up in Ghana in a single parent home, life wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for him. X.O had to learn, quickly, to be fiercely independent. Finishing high school, X.O returned to the USA, Grand Rapids, Michigan to pursue his college education. He attended Calvin College where he was a major in Business and a minor in Pre-medicine. In college, he continued with his knack for excelling at everything he does. He was News Editor for the school’s newspaper, organized and hosted the school’s international talent shows and was an excellent athlete, holding till today, the school’s triple jump record. Two years prior to graduation, setbacks struck, again. X.O could no longer afford college so he was forced to drop out. After a year of sitting out, help came in the form of an anonymous donor who donated money for him to complete college. Just when the excitement of graduating from college was starting to sink in, X.O had to deal with yet another setback, the loss of his mother in 2004. Motivated to be even more focused and successful and not taking life for granted, X.O focused on his natural talent for words, opting for law school and enrolling at Howard University School of Law in 2005. At Howard Law, he continued his legacy of success. (While in) law school, X.O organized a movement mobilizing Howard Law School to create awareness for the 'Jena Six' trial and the constitutional issues raised in the trial that brought attention to the nation. Not losing momentum at Howard Law, he also helped establish the law school's first student center. He was later elected president of Howard International Law Society, then president of the Student Bar Association and before he graduated, he was chair of the Student Board. After such successful run and achievements in law school, graduating in 2008, it was no surprise that X.O landed a job as a young associate attorney at one of the top law firms in America. What was surprising, however, was that a little over a year into his work at the firm, he quit to pursue a career in music! He has since excelled and has worked with MI, Sauce Kid, R2Bees, D-Black, Ice Prince, Beazy, Corey Gunz and The Aphilliates among others. His word play is extremely brilliant and he is definitely one for the future.
