Canada’s R&B scene has a fresh new voice with the debut of Xavier Trudeau, son of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Performing under the stage name “Xav,” the 17-year-old artist has officially entered the music industry with his first single, Til The Nights Done—a smooth and moody track already gaining traction across streaming platforms.
A Smooth Blend Of R&B And Hip-Hop
Released on February 21, Til The Nights Done merges contemporary R&B with hip-hop influences, creating a hypnotic soundscape. The song features dreamy synths and a slow-burning beat, perfectly complementing its sensual, introspective lyrics. Produced by Vishal “Duava” Daluwatte and Joey “Tekika” Boyer, Ottawa-based Pathway Music Group co-founders, the track boasts lush instrumentation, allowing Xav’s vocals to shine. Adding a soft touch, his younger sister, Ella-Grace Trudeau, provides additional vocals.
Drawing inspiration from Canadian icons like Drake, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber, Xav is determined to carve his own career path. In a bold lyrical moment, he directly addresses the weight of his family name: “What you know about me, I ain’t like him,” a clear nod to the challenge of establishing his identity beyond his father’s political legacy.
“It’s hard to escape the shadow of a famous parent or sibling, and he acknowledges that head-on in the lyric, ‘What you know about me, I ain’t like him,'” Music industry expert Eric Alper weighed in on Xav’s debut, stating to CBC, “He absolutely should trade on the name; it’ll get him in the door… but from there, it’s on him to prove himself as a compelling artist beyond the last name. And I think he’s got the vibe and chops to do it.”
There’s More To Come In 2025
Since its midnight release, Til The Nights Done has steadily climbed in popularity on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, with listeners praising its polished production and emotional depth. Fans can expect more from Xav soon—he has confirmed a follow-up single within the next month, and live performances are also in the works.
With an impressive debut, Xav quickly establishes himself as a rising star in Canada’s vibrant R&B landscape.
