Xavier Toscano grew up with MTV on the tube and the multicultural scene of the Bay Area blaring in the background, and his music reflects it. Toscano's music can be described as enthusiastic, young, urban pop. He blends his love of rap and R&B with his Latino background. His major music influences include: Madonna, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Kylie Minogue, Timbaland, The Neptunes, and 70's disco Funk.
Inspired to put his love of music into action, Toscano has spent the last two years in the studio. In September, he released his debut album Mighty Real, and is currently planning a 2008/2009 club tour to support it. Not content to just stand on the stage and sing, his show will combine his other talents as an actor and dancer to create an act with the flair of theatre and the flash of MTV, tied together with his energetic pop sound.
Toscano believes that pop music is the soundtrack to our lives. It has the power to carve events in our lives in stone. When you hear a pop song from your past, it has the power to take you back. It brings back memories long faded into sepia back with a colorful pop, allowing the past to be instantly relived. That is what makes Toscano love music much. And that is the power he hopes to infuse into his songs.
