Exotic by XP is a brand of entertainment and live shows, producing modern and traditional music, with visual and digital arts. Dr. Xander Pratt is a multi-faceted PanAfrican artist, awarded by CNN for his Afro futurist storytelling, with global sound. Born from Ghanaian and Zimbabwean nobility, he creates mostly in Siargao Island. For the last two years of staying in the country, Xander and AsiaTV released WayUp as the official theme song of Philippine Blockchain Week, and Ninja at Tim Yap’s annual Shake Rattle and Ball, in support of Rethink Plastic Organization.
Between Brazil and the Philippines, with the support of Mdme Cecile Guidote Alvarez of International Theatre Institute, Xander co-produced The African Dream, in Rio de Janeiro. He has since collaborated with Mainstreet artist Zambapiano for funk and trap songs and Celdo Braga’s indigenous band from the Amazon. The vision is to host top Brazilian musicians, in an anticipated Afro Latin residency in Siargao, alongside Bravo creators’ Festival in August.
The New Album AFROZIL is not about color or race. It’s a visual album that echoes the same foot-print with conceptual projects such as Beyonce’s Lemonade, showcasing never-before-seen visuals inspired by Asia, Middle East, Africa and Brazil, but rooted in day to day life, and the histographies of real communities. This is beyond Africans and Brazilians Uniting to record Sound – it is a new union of continents that harness the deepest creative energies of the human body, mind, spirit. The mission is to conquer the NEW WORLD through the universal power of Music. The Philippines itself has been a home to a sizeable Brazilian and Latin population of artists and creatives. No better island to host this energetic surge than Siargao, which has become a hub for local and foreign art residencies.
The Project features Brazilian music giants, produced by the legend Ice Blue whose group Racionais launched social and cultural revolutions, alongside Rincon Sapiência, with MC Gaab, MC Marks, DJ Perera, MC Mari, Joss Dee. Hailed as one of the most ambitious and disruptive musical releases of the year, it includes four music videos originally produced around the Philippines:

Just like in previous years, VIP invitation extended by Friends for Leadership to AsiaTV studios at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum from June 18 to 21, 2025, attended by heads of state and industry players from around the Global South. The mission is to be part of a ‘BRICS Arts Collective’ featuring next generation Afro-Asian-Latin musicians and painters on the ground, especially in light of end of the year’s Conference on Climate Change, which has seen the participation of creative social influencers like Global Citizen on a macro level.
