about

Xavier is a singer/songwriter born in London. He grew up in France, New Zealand and Australia, spending a lot of his childhood on the move. He’s spent most of his adult life as an entrepreneur - In his early 20s he left Australia, starting his first business and couch-surfing his way across the US. Furthermore, he went on to become an early employee of Deliveroo (first 30) where he was a major part of growing the UK business as a general manager. He left Deliveroo to launch a business called Turo (a US unicorn) in the UK and run their international business.

At age 30 he rediscovered his love of music and passion for songwriting. This coincided with lockdowns and the ability to focus on writing his first EP. He’s teamed up with the producers Wayward to release Coastlines. This first EP is inspired by music influences such as Dylan, Radiohead, Bon Iver and Vance Joy and is a reflection on a challenging period of his life.

The EP maps a relationship breakdown between him and his best friend, who told him she was in love with him a week after getting married. Coastlines reflect the toxic descent of this relationship into chaos, heartbreak and lockdown and the ensuing escape through travelling the world. Coastlines is the opening and closing of this chapter in his life.

from Uvarious Artists Vol​.​13, released March 11, 2022
Taken from new 'Coastlines' EP released April 2022

London based singer-songwriter Xavier Collins is poised to announce his second release with the arrival of 'Gone'. Produced by electronic production duo Wayward (seen in Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Ransom Note), it is lifted from the forthcoming 'Coastlines' EP due April 2022.

"This is an acoustic track, it's raw and unplugged. It was recorded in one take as a guide / reference and not to a click... but we decided to just go with it as it was, because it's authentic and emotional. The song was written after many failed attempts to find my natural sound and almost in desperation - the lyrics, like the song's essence, were inspired by Song For Zula."

Produced by Wayward.
