Xavier

Xavier, a Northumberland-born musician and producer, has been writing since he was 12 years old and producing since he turned 16. His first official release, “Faded,” garnered recognition from Wright Music & Management and Kush-T during the summer of 2019. Following up with his second official release, “Vibes,” Xavier included it as the opening track in his EP Polaroids, which he released in the summer of 2020. This EP reflects on both good and bad memories from the past, conveying the message that life is a journey with both ups and downs, as well as an element of escapism through its beats and sounds.

As a guest performer, Xavier has taken the stage at Emporium Newcastle alongside LeftBlank, a talented rapper, producer, and graphic designer. LeftBlank invited Xavier to perform after hearing his song “Whiskey Weak” at Sam Thomas’s Rap night at the Mason Arms South Shields. Additionally, Xavier performed at “What’s Your Flavour,” his first paid gig in a music venue, thanks to Sam Thomas, who also booked MoodBay, HiveMind, and Gaz for the show.

Xavier has also performed at many of NeRising’s renowned Open Mic events, sharing the stage with some of the best rappers and singers that Newcastle has to offer. He is grateful for these opportunities and looks forward to many more.
