Xavier Lecouturier

Xavier is a young, American, drummer, composer, with French and Mexican heritage.

He is a Graduate of the Cornish College of the Arts Music Department where he spent his last four years completing his degree. In his four years in Seattle, Xavier primarily focused on developing a compositional and playing style that was manifested in his music.

He has a commitment to the study and roots of the jazz tradition but also finds all the ways in which the things he carries can influence his music. The music he composes is drawn from the music he grew up listening to, including classical music, latin jazz, Mexican pop-rock, or pop.

He is a unique musician and composer that brings something new to the tradition of jazz and modern music.

His music continues to be a deep source of discovery and growth for Xavier as a musician. Beyond that, he has been an active member of Thomas Marriott’s quintet. He also Leads an Octet, “DX-Tet”, as well as a big band with his close musical cohort Dylan Hayes.
