CD Elevate" by Independent Recording Artist Xioger is a Journey that Engages Listeners to Pay Attention to the Lyrics, the Voice, the Feelings and Emotions that Created It, No Matter What Language You Speak.

Independent Recording Artist Xioger is as original as his name and started to develop his artistic abilities at a very early age. On the day he was born, his parents had not agreed on a name and Xiogers grandfather combined his parents names to create Xioger (pronounced see-oh-her). His mothers name is Xiomara and his fathers name is German and with a name like Xioger, he was destined to become a big star. At the age of three, he was already making up lyrics to his parents favorite songs. This ability caused a great deal of excitement among his family, who encouraged him to sing and sing some more; not realizing they were developing his artistic abilities.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) October 1, 2004 -- When growing up, Xioger belonged to different choirs, rock bands and was also part of a very popular boy-band from Florida. Throughout his musical journey, Xioger has always known that he has the talent, the discipline, the passion, the voice, the look and desire to make it as a solo artist in the music business. His live performances prove time after time that his charismatic and effervescent energy grabs the audience and makes them not want to take their eyes off of him. Singer and songwriter Xioger is a musical force to be reckoned with!

At the age of twelve, he wrote his first song; a talent he has continued to expand by not only writing lyrics, but composing the melodies and the music. In order to better transpose his ideas from his head unto a song, he taught himself to play the keyboard and all the songs from his new CD Elevate" are derived from this passion he has for music.

Producers Leo Quintero in Miami and Rick Nichols in New York City worked with Xioger in Elevate." The CD "Elevate" represents the combination of many factors of great significance for this artist; it is entirely his creation, from the writing of the songs, to composing the music and to co-producing the album. He is a very hands-on artist, who has a vision, finds the tools to make his visions a reality and creates magical and delightful end results. He says, I am giving to the world my essence, it's me. It's the way I am. It's the way I feel. I've put my thoughts, my creations, my time, my love in singing or the things I'm writing. And it's up to the world to accept my gift and to answer my call and see what they get from me."

The title track, which is also the first single, Elevate" is an anthem to the pureness of real love, very reminiscent of Bon Jovi. Xioger tells us to open our hearts al rojo vivo (in pure blood) and to show him we are still alive. The sun shines again with Runaway," the second song in the album brings a touch of reality and magic to everyday life. The haunting dueling sets of guitars in this song and the catchy chorus remind us of Madonnas hit song Dont Tell Me."

Should I" is a delightful journey into the mind of Xioger as a person. He finds himself vulnerable after a break up and wonders whether or not to continue to love his angel" who broke his heart and now begs to be rescued from the pain. The artist Jewel is the inspiration behind Xiogers hit ballad Sugar." Here he tackles the subject of crossing the line from the dark into the light." Xioger pours his emotions into this song and compels the listener to feel better in knowing that life is a journey and we all lose very special people in our lives, but in the end all works out. As long as we dont lose any time and do the things we have to do with our lives and also remind the people we love of how we feel for them while they are able to hear it, everything will be alright," because you are alive, Sugar." Today" is a contagious dance song that reminds us of George Michael circa the 80s. A very catchy tune with a killer breakdown, Today" is destined to become a club scene classic.

"Elevate" is a very well varied work of art that makes its way into the market breaking all schemes, without creating boundaries for any listener. Xioger manages to present songs in English, Spanish and introduces one song in Italian without ever making the listener feel lost or out of place. On the contrary, the album Elevate" is a journey that forces you to listen and to pay attention to the lyrics, the voice, the feelings and emotions that created this project, no matter what language you speak!
