Give Me The Night
This version of the 80's classic is funkier than hot garbage, but the rats and roaches won't be the only ones grooving to this one. Originally performed by George Benson and written by venerable genius Rod Temperton, responsible for innumerable hits including Michael Jackson's "Rock With You", "Off The Wall", and "Thriller", this anthem is one of the best ever written odes to the magic of nightlife. Xavier was still in diapers when this song originally went #1. The instrumentation is a thumping mix of synth-pop, house, disco and r&b which Xavier moves through with a smooth ferocity and sensuality, while still remaining faithful to the original. Perfect for club play, block parties and Ewok throw-downs in distant galaxies.

Sunrise In Tokyo
Was there a Paradise Garage in Asia? There is now. Written by Xavier, Sunrise In Tokyo is a sonic blend of freestyle, Japanese pop, garage house and techno reminiscent of early Bjork and Prince. It features 808 kicks for the unassuming geisha girl. Tanoshimi.

Disco Twilight
No, this is not a cover or a previously unreleased Yaz and Stevie Wonder collaboration. Disco Twilight was penned in tribute to songs that soothed Xavier's young, raw buttocks after a good old-fashioned parental whooping Yaay corporal punishment! Written and recorded post-orgasm and with a 101degree fever, the blissful delirium-born dogma is clear: music is magic. Its insistent synths and melodic bass line will funk any butt back to health in no time. So break out your rollerskates and ghetto blaster and get your ass on the graffiti train to the dancefloor

XAVIER

Contrary to his parents’ reports Xavier was immaculately conceived. Any resemblance he bears to them is purely coincidental. His incessant howling around the house, neighborhood mini-concerts from his bedroom window, and impromptu performances for houseguests prompted his mother to arrange an audition with the Boys Choir of Harlem. Not only did he get in, but within his first year he was touring with the group as a featured soloist at the age of 11. During his seven-year stint with the group, he saw a large amount of fists close up, but he also got to sing alongside notable performers like Paul McCartney, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston and his hero Stevie Wonder.

While studying at Columbia University, Xavier managed to make a name for himself singing in New York’s downtown club scene, between socializing and not doing his coursework. In fact, he won one contest so many times, he was asked not to return. Xavier has performed to packed houses at CBGB’s, Spa, Luxx, Tunnel and Squeezebox just to name a few. His mellifluous voice makes women moist and men question their sexuality. His own father had to be restrained. Needless to say he’s not a virgin.

Whether it is a hot groove or a ballad, Xavier wraps you up inside the music and makes you feel it to the core. In 2003, Xavier signed with the New York City (Chinatown) based hit production duo A Touch of Class and received a nice, big check. His debut single Give Me The Night is due out summer 2004. The Barbara Wawah’s interview, Oprah appearance and Lifetime Achievement Grammy TBA. Stay tuned.
