My name is Jae, and I am known by the moniker “Xaive,” a play on my middle name, Xaiver. I was born in Orlando, Florida, in 2000. My passion for music ignited in 2003 when my father played “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” in his car. I began creating music on DatPiff and SoundCloud in 2015 at the age of 15. After a six-year hiatus to focus on work and personal life, I decided to return to music in 2024, pursuing it alongside my day job. I have always been influenced by genres such as Rock, Electronic, and R&B. Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar are two artists who have significantly shaped my musical tastes.
My tracks “Midnight Royce” and “It’s Not Much” have garnered significant buzz and become fan favorites. As an artist on the rise, I have been praised for my dynamic skills on the mic, effortlessly blending different genres and delivering powerful performances. The unique sound and lyrical prowess have set me apart in the music scene, and I am excited to continue on this journey.
