The Formal Introduction of Xavier-Raye

“Bring Change Everywhere”

It’s an imperative known as the BCE Movement, a motto and a way of life. But before being embraced as such by thousands of supporters, it was a personal mission of its creator — singer/songwriter Xavier-Raye.
It’s a concept that he pursues relentlessly through his music. And with the upcoming release of his debut album, Bi-Polar, Raye is eager to see it in action.
For Xavier, music has been an obvious life course since childhood. Having grown up around all genres of music, he has always been driven by a passion for touching lives through the stories that are already alive in the melodies he hears. But his journey has been anything but ordinary and predictable.
A Delaware native, Xavier-Raye moved to Philadelphia in his teen years before venturing on his own to New York City, to focus on his passion for music, in 2008.
Locally, Xavier has performed live with some of the world’s finest artists, including Mariah Carey and Patti Labelle. Bi-Polar contains production from Xavier as well as some of the best up and coming producers, including M. Rell (G-Unit) and Brintellect Productions.

But Xavier-Raye is clear that it is time to step into his own. And he does so with the release of his first buzz-worthy project due out in November 2014. Formal Introduction, his 10-track EP, is a fusion of pop and soul music all produced by the man himself— an eclectic representation of Raye’s love of many genres, ranging from pop, rock and soul to gospel, alternative and classical.
“S.T.A.R,” for example, is a R&B/Club-styled groove inspired by self-affirmation within yourself and being against the odds, while “Reheat” features the hallmarks of great love lyricism set to a powerful acoustic ballad. Bi-Polar’s first single, “D.E.A.D2ME,” is a song with a rock/pop vibe, and is already gaining radio airplay on the east coast. Even with its varied influences and styles, Bi-Polar remains a cohesive project, with the help of his partner M.K, representing a snippet of the greater soundtrack of his life, both sides.
To be sure, Xavier-Raye has got plenty more music to share. Right now, he is merely scratching the surface. But what a significant scratch it is — with a little something for everyone, "Formal Introduction" introduces Xavier’s artistry to the world, positioning him to indeed…
