They met and soon realized that they both shared a love of artists such as Fiona Apple, Goldfrapp, and Edie Brickell as well as a penchant for older jazz standards. The name Xavier & Ophelia (X&O) came from a pair of children’s dolls.

X&O’s music collectively has been placed in movies, television and commercials. Musically, they tend to combine Bachrach-eqsque melodies with electronic production intermingled with live instruments such as the acoustic guitar and drums. The duo released their first 9 song effort, X&O, in 2011. They continue to explore new sounds and textures from their studio in Nashville, TN.
