BIOGRAPHYThere are artists who’ve got something, and there are artists who’ve got it, and upon hearing his voice for the first time, it’s obvious that Xavier is firmly in the latter category. With an irresistible mixture of R&B, Soul, and Pop, he invokes greats from the past while bringing something totally new to the game as he honors the roots of R&B while imagining it anew. His influences include Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Luther Vandross, Craig David, and many more. Xavier has always been surrounded by music since his early childhood. Many of his close relatives gained fame regionally, and internationally. Being related to legendary soul singer Patti LaBelle, you can tell that the passion and talent extends throughout the branches in the family tree. Xavier began songwriting, producing, and recording at age 14. For Xavier, the love of music was primary, and everything else was secondary. If he wasn’t singing, he was writing, coming up with concepts, or working in the area of production. When he turned 15, he entered his high school chorus class and gain knowledge of different musical aspects. He traveled up and down the east coast singing different gospel-style arrangements, opera pieces, and various musical medleys. During this time he developed his range, and his signature style. “My dream was to sign a recording deal, before I graduatedâ€, says Xavier. But unfortunately, things didn’t go as plan. So in order to pursue his dreams he took a chance and left his hometown of Albany, Ga. He entered the Air Force as a means to attend college, network, and travel around the world. This was yet another way to create avenues to get him closer to his dream. Lucky for him, everything has been working out as planned. After hooking up with producer Jerry Riddle (Artistry Musik., Indie Label), he has been finding his way into the hearts of many. With songs like “Captivatingâ€, “Let’s Goâ€, and “Come and Get This Loveâ€, Xavier’s positive feedback has been very promising. “I feel like I’ve been in the background long enough trying to perfect my craft, and it’s time to let the world know about the gift God gave meâ€, says Xavier. Xavier writes songs that people can relate to, and you will definitely find yourself humming, or singing his tunes at some point during the day. This multi-talented young man is ready to deliver what’s been missing from majority of the music these days…. and that’s meaning.
