A kid full of wonders...
Hailing from the lush landscapes of Davao City, the Durian Capital of the Philippines, Xavier began his journey into the creative realm at an early age. In 2018, during his 9th grade, he first explored the vibrant worlds of electronic music production and visual graphic design. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a profound passion that would shape his future endeavors.
At the onset of the pandemic, Xavier secured his first professional opportunity at Sora Music Group, a former sub-label of Warner Music Philippines. In his role as a graphic designer and social media manager, he skillfully merged his artistic talents with the music industry.
During his tenure at Warner Music sub-label...
He managed the label's social media presence, oversaw music releases, produced captivating cover art for digital streaming platforms, and developed marketing assets for the label's roster of artists. Through collaboration with the Warner Music A&R team, he contributed to music distribution, immersing himself in the dynamic rhythms of the industry.
His first musical breakthrough...
In 2021, Xavier achieved a significant milestone in his music career under the alias XYNTHESIZE. His track 'Timeless Smile,' together with fellow Davaoeño artist KVELL and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Danielle Hollobaugh, under independent dance label Seal Network, garnered over 200K streams and received support from multiple DJs and radio stations globally. A highlight of his journey was when DJ ICE CREAM played his single on Hitz FM Malaysia during a warm-up set for the Borneo Music Festival 2022, where renowned artists such as Alan Walker and DJ Soda were featured.
