Xana is a Queer Canadian artist based in Vancouver, BC. With her genre bending records, Xana pushes the boundaries of pop music with her authenticity and brings listeners on fantasy adventures to heartfelt moments with unapologetic and intimate writing.

She spent her childhood rocking out to Avril Lavigne, Eminem and The Little Mermaid and in her adolescence she became heavily influenced by artists such as Halsey, Lorde, Taylor Swift and Ryn Weaver.

Her high energy tracks grab the attention of the listener with not only the gentle confessions in the lyrics but the feelings and emotions in her melodies.

Xana's music encompasses themes of LGBTQ romance, female empowerment, sex positivity, self reflection and discovery.
