Xavi Casellas is a Catalan jazz singer and lyricist, born in Calella and linked to the Barcelona music scene. Initially self-taught, he developed his language by listening to the great voices of jazz and the big bands, building an artistic identity in which interpretation, text, and storytelling occupy a central place.

Her approach to the voice stems from the vocal jazz tradition, expanding its expressive possibilities through a direct relationship between word, melody, and improvisation. Throughout her career, she has worked with musicians such as Emilio Solla, Ben Monder, Romero Lubambo, John Ellis, and Julien Labro, and has presented her projects on stages such as the Barcelona Jazz Festival, Jamboree, and Nova Jazz Cava, as well as New York venues including Dizzy’s Club at Lincoln Center, Smalls, Zinc, and Mezzrow.

His discography as a leader includes works such as “Yesterday’s Sun”, “Unguarded Smiles”, and “In a Sentimental Move”, leading up to “Vocalese Voyage”, released by Club del Disco in 2026. Through these projects, Casellas has progressively developed his facet as a performer and lyricist, exploring new ways of approaching both the repertoire and contemporary composition. In parallel, he pursues his teaching career as a singing instructor at the Taller de Músics.
