A. I’m Xavier Keyz I’m a singer songwriter producer from

Chicago IL. I sing primarily R&B music but I do like to venture out and try new things. I’m a global entertainer, and actor helping other achieve greatness through my masterclass empowering them with the keys and knowledge on ownership of their audience.

Q. What made you want to pursue a career in the music industry?

A. Watching Usher as a young child & seeing him dance and sing. Right then and there I knew this is what I was sent to this planet to do, serve humanity & give them great music and entertainment.

Q. Who do you look up to for inspiration or mentorship?

A. Mainly Ryan Leslie - Ryan has helped me in so many ways in my career & finance as well & I would also love to include

Usher, Tank, Tyrese. Those are my top 4 and each of them for different reasons.

Q. Tell us about “Your Story is

Mine” and the motivation behind it?

A. “Your story is mine” Crazy how

I got a phone call from veteran songwriter and producer Barry

Coffing - he’s overseeing the entire project & things and he called me during the middle of the pandemic & asked me to be a part of a project that features indie artists to be the featured vocalist and performer for songs written by a really great songwriter named Andrew

“King” Cole, all I’d have to do is fly down to Houston but we didn’t know how this was going to happen nor when because of Covid-19 so finally the time came during a time where everything slowed down as far as Covid-19 is concerned which allowed a window to travel down to Houston TX for 3 days to record. Mainly though the motivation behind it is that without love we can progress, we are a part of each other’s stories and pushing for more love and togetherness overall.

Q. Can you tell us what you are most grateful for?

A. The thing I’m most grateful for is grace. Without that I wouldn’t be here today doing this interview.

Also, I’m thankful for my fans and my team. I don’t ever want to leave them out of the picture because they matter.

Q. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

A. In the next 5 years I see myself dominating the industry and changing things in it for the betterment of other artists out there coming behind me. I also see myself starring in major films & honestly living a happy and grateful life. There’s no other way I see myself living life.

Q. How do you define your purpose in life?

A. Your purpose aka calling in life is what keeps calling you.

I’ll never forget that – I was watching a YouTube video on inspiration, which I’m very big on; & I heard them in the video say how you know your purpose and calling is that it keeps calling you. No matter how far you run or how much time you take off it will keep calling you until you answer it. Hope that helps someone out there.

Q. What is one message you want to give to your fans?

A. Never stop believing and don’t doubt your gifts because trust me they will always make room for you in any situation and put you at the head of the table every time with power.

Q. Are you working on any projects or upcoming events?

A. Yes, I’m working on a lot of projects at the same time - producing virtual shows for artists out there as well as teaching them in my 5-week masterclass on how to build their audience with complete ownership. I will also be dropping my next album project Red Wine

Part 2 very soon. I’m also excited about some awesome musical collaboration projects that I have in the works with some people that I consider to be pretty incredible in what they do as creatives. I love that I can stay busy doing what I’m extremely passionate about especially when it comes to impacting others.

Q. Where can the readers follow you?

A. The readers can follow me by leaving their number at http://textxavierkeyz.com and I will get back to them. I love to give them free music and build a one to one relationship with them. I know that some of them think it’s not actually me but I can say it definitely is without a shadow of a doubt one hundred percent me.

I actually sit on my phone and take time to talk and communicate with fans daily in my schedule so definitely try me.
