Xochitl began her music journey in womb. Her parents met playing music themselves, and when expecting their first child, placed headphones over her mothers belly blasting anything from Mozart to Beatles. She first picked up violin, then piano, followed by guitar and finally songwriting. Xochitl wrote her first song ‘The Chico Song’ at age 17. Xochitl didn’t discover her voice until attending choir in high school.

When attending Sacramento City College for business, Xochitl felt an overwhelming need to walk out of her math class. “I just remember a voice telling me, if I don’t do it now, I never will.” Xochitl walked out of that class and never looked back. Working three jobs, Xochitl continued to write, record & play as many open mics as possible. Some of her first venues included Lunas, Naked Lounge & Hotel Utah. Her first EP ‘Lion Heart’ hit iTunes “Top Singer-songwriter & Top New EP Charts’ when released February 2014. Her music has taken her multiple tours including the south, east coast, and west coast tours. She writes a variety of music including rock, jazz, pop & instrumental.

Xochitl currently resides in Napa, CA & has recently been contracted as the full time in house musician at The Estate Yountville & Indian Springs Resort in Calistoga.
