When music is your life, there’s no bigger dream than turning it into your career and giving back to your community in the process.

This week, we sit down with Xavier The X-Man. Xavier has a deep connection with music from childhood and tells us about his love for curating music for his listeners. He talks about the impact his Mexican and Filipino cultures have had on him and what life was like growing up in an immigrant family.

Xavier turns his passion for low-riders into an opportunity to give back to those who need it most. He was recognized as Citizen of the Year in 2016 and is celebrated with the officially proclaimed “Xavier The X-Man Day” every year on September 16th.

Follow along with Xavier and his upcoming events @XavierTheXMan.
