House is life.

Xavier's passion and dedication towards his artistry as a DJ is undeniable. For over two decades, his infectious energy and sincere authentic love for music have driven him forward as an artist. Throughout his twenties, Xavier’s focus was purely Breakbeats; nothing could pull his attention. As he moved through the decade, his tastes shifted, and eventually, the magnetism of House music could no longer be ignored. Once cemented in the confidence of his newfound love for House, everything came into focus and his purpose became clear.

From his countless nights early on, sharing the stage at Hush Nightclub - a queer-forward, underground safe-haven, with top-shelf electronic acts such as Alex Metric, Stanton Warriors, or Nora En Pure; to travelling deep into the BC backcountry on a Saturday night to perform - sometimes for only a handful of ravers; to dragging a 50 pound bag of vinyl up a fight of stairs in the suburbs; to playing sold-out shows, opening for artists like Chris Lake, AC Slater, or Justin Martin, it didn't matter to Xavier, because it meant that he could share his love for the music. Wherever he was: outdoors, indoors, a club, a basement, a farmhouse, a garage, a warehouse; people were there to listen, and he was there to play.

Xavier's ultimate goal is to share the music that resonates with him on a deeper level, hoping that it will also ignite a fire in the souls of his listeners. Music has a way of evoking powerful emotions and connecting people on a profound level. Having recently rediscovered that internal fire of focus & passion within himself, Xavier is relentless in the pursuit of a musical experience that not only entertains but leaves a lasting impact on those who are there to listen.
