With over six years of experience in music and entertainment, Xavier excels in Graphic Design, Music Production, and Social Media Management, delivering exceptional creative solutions for diverse projects and clients.

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.

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.

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.

The year 2023 marked another turning point as Xavier further established his name within the local music scene. His official remix of 'Ipanumpa Ko' by Oh! Caraga was prominently featured on New Music Friday Philippines and premiered on Cebu's contemporary hit radio station, Y101 FM. It then climbed the city charts on Spotify’s Local Pulse, peaking at No. 2 in Cebu, No. 3 in Cagayan de Oro, and No. 4 in Davao. Commissioned by Vispop, this remix served as an anthem for their inaugural music festival, celebrating local talent and culture.

Currently, Xavier is on hiatus from his music career, yet his creative journey continues as he explores new avenues as a full-time graphic designer across the food, events, real estate, and travel industries. He is also pursuing audio mixing and mastering under his co-founded imprint, Emphasis Production House & Collective Media, having Ian Avila his partner in music arrangement and paralegal, further fueling his passion for sound and design.

Xavier has also made notable contributions in event design, including designing posters for Morong and CDO Sayafest, hosted by FReSH FM Philippines. These events featured lineups including well-known local acts such as This Band, The Dukes, and Ian Sndrz, further cementing his role in blending music and design. Additionally, he contributed to FReSH FM's social media branding, improving its visual identity and online presence.

Xavier has also crafted electronic press kits for DJs, MCs, and artists, blending his eye for design with his understanding of the music industry.
