XCALIBA STARTED WRITING POETRY AT THE AGE OF 11 WHICH TRANSFORMED INTO RAP LYRICS BY THE AGE OF 12. SHE WAS VERY SHY AS A CHILD BUT OUT GREW HER SHYNESS BY HER TEENAGE YEARS. AS "X" GOT OLDER HER STYLE BECAME VERY DISTINCTIVE AND THAT'S HOW THE NAME XCALIBA CAME ABOUT. IT'S LIKE YOU CAN FEEL WHAT SHE FEELS THROUGH HER MUSIC. IF I COULD FIND ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE HER MUSIC IT WOULD BE ECCENTRIC WHICH MAKES HER VERY DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER FEMALE RAPPERS. XCALIBA ALSO WRITES ALL HER MATERIAL AND HAS PERFORMED WITH LOCAL ARTIST AROUND THE D.C. AREA. SHE JOINED A LOCAL LABEL CALLED RED LIGHT DISTRICT IN 2003.

IN 2006 "X" MET CARL CEO AND FOUNDER OF CARLITO RECORDS. THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE PRODUCER AND ARTIST HAS SPARKED SINCE DAY ONE. THEY CONTINUE TO SURPRISE THE NON-BELIEVERS TILL THIS DAY. IN 2007 "X" STARTED A COMPANY CALLED HFH ENTERPRISES WHICH CATERS TO YOUR TRAVELING NEEDS. "X" HAS ALWAYS BEEN OPENED ABOUT HER LIFESTYLE AND CONTINUES TO STRIVE FOR THE BEST.
