Xavier James Trudeau (born October 18, 2007), known professionally as Xav, is a Canadian R&B singer.[1][2] He is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.[1] Xav has released three singles and is currently signed to Ottawa-based record label Pathway Music Group.[3][4] Music correspondent Eric Alper praised Xav's conscious distinction of himself from his father in the lyrics of Til The Nights Done, adding that if Xav "can actually back up the strong songwriting and the consistent releases, he’s got a real shot at carving out his own space in the industry."[1][3] Toronto Star journalist Richie Assaly felt that while he considered Til The Nights Done to be musically unremarkable, declining Canada–United States relations made the song culturally significant as "a reminder that the drab, ephemerality of Canadian culture can, in fact, be a bulwark against the dizzying extremism of American culture".[5]
