The XFactr was created by singer, songwriter, vocal coach, and Blues in Schools educator Rex Peoples in 2007. It is intentionally spelled without the “o” to represent the intangibles that make the religious shout, and the partiers dance, and remind us of the emotions that make us say, “That’s my song!”
