Xavier nace en La Habana,Cuba.Desde 1979 crece entre famosos musicos cubanos como Los Van Van, Issac Delgado o NG la banda. Venia de una familia musical su abuelo habia sido creador de "LOS ZAFIROS". Nestor Mili era un gran compositor reconocido mundialmente por el tema que popularizo Celia Cruz "El Yerbero Moderno". Mucho antes de dar sus primeros pasos,ya dominaba la clave, base fundamental de la musica tradicional cubana. Era de suponer que hasta en la escuela solo pensaba en musica, cosa de la cual hasta su madre y sus maestros se quejaban. Entonces es cuando comienza a tener sus primeras experiencias frente a las camaras y a un publico joven,como integrante del Grupo Infantil "MEñIQUE". Con solo 9 anos tuvo la oportunidad de integrar el elenco de actores de una serie televisiva para ninos, aunque esta vez interpretando solamente un papel secundario. Gracias a esta incursion en el mundo de la actuacion resulta escogido dentro de un sin numero de ninos que tras de haberse sometido a rigurosos castings debian quedar solo tres,como protagonistas de la popular serie infantil "LOS PAPALOTEROS", tan ya familiar y conocida por todos los televidentes cubanos. Al mismo tiempo, persistia en el estudio de su musica que logicamente tenia como instrumento basico la Percusion y el Piano como complementario. Fue en su Escuela de Musica "Manuel Saumell" donde fue integrante de bandas como "NG junior" de la cual ya se escuchaba lo que de musica cubana demandaba. En 1995 se marcha a Alemania, donde tambien se hace sentir su sabor cubano entre las bandas alemanas por donde incursiono. Entre ellas contamos con bandas como la premiada banda rockera"Barilla Juice";o las de estilo salseras como "Salson","Salsa Verde",La Tripulacion, ect... En 2003 tambien fue parte de un projecto cabaret-comedia con el tan afamado y conocido humorista aleman Christian Habekost "CHAKO", titulado "Chako Music Show", en el que tuvo la oportunidad de desarrollarse en todas sus facetas, "...fue una experiencia unica". En el 2004 tuvo la oportunidad de conocer a dos de los mas conocidos productores de Europa el aleman Frank Dursthoff y el holandes June Rollocks o (Pappa Bear) como tambien se le conoce artisticamente, con ellos grabo un disco de reggaeton del que algunos numeros se escucharon el las radios holandesas, tambien se realizo un video clip que se encuentra junto con el cd track en una de las copilaciones de reggaeton mas vendidas de España "la factoria del reggaeton vol.3". Gracias a ese cd tuvo la suerte de presentarse en uno de los festivales mas exitantes de europa que fue el "Carnaval de Rotterdam" frente a mas de 66.000 personas. Ahora se encuentra en Miami,FL donde dice que no descansara hasta que logre la fama, y esta ciudad le abrio las puertas dandole la posibilidad de ser parte de Cuban timba allstar, como tambien del elenco de actores del proyecto “Codigo 537” y asi poco a poco va llegando al exito que desde niño busca y como todo joven lleva adelante sus projectos y sus suenos, esperemos que los logre "...?Que creen?"
