Biografia
You’ve heard of XELLE. They’re that girl group that threw an illegal dance party on a moving NYC subway train for their debut video, Party Girl. They’re the indie band whose songs and videos are lighting up TV shows, radio stations and dance floors around the world. They’re those sexy girls with huge voices who rocked the stage at your favorite club last night. They are XELLE, and you’ve been waiting for them to come along.
Fronted by dance floor divas JC Cassis and Rony G and produced by international hitmaker Zach Adam, XELLE makes megapop music that the world can’t get enough of. With over 1.5 million views on YouTube, their incredible music videos have whipped the international press into a frenzy. CBS News called XELLE “anything but ordinary,” Perez Hilton proclaimed their videos “an effing good time,” and Edge Magazine says that “XELLE excels at delivering a pure dance floor confection.” Together with Zach Adam, XELLE creates and produces music video masterworks. Their video, Hologram, is the first ever choose-your-own-adventure, interactive YouTube video, starring Janeane Garofalo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Martha Wash and more. Queen is a trippy, visually stunning piece starring nearly all of the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Invincible is a moving empowerment anthem that will make you want to change the world. And of course, they brought you Party Girl, the how-did-they-pull-that-off, one-take, illegal subway takeover that started it all.
With a fresh sound that mixes the fun of The Spice Girls, the swagger of Ke$ha and the gorgeous vocal harmonies of ABBA, XELLE is an exciting addition to the pop music landscape. The girls have brought their high energy live show to fans around the USA, and they’ve shared the stage with legends such as Joan Rivers, Lil’ Kim, Salt ‘n’ Pepa, Mya, Dev, Mo’Nique, Aubrey O’Day, Blu Cantrell, C&C Music Factory and Deborah Cox.
XELLE’s songs have been featured on MTV, LOGO, Oxygen, Sirius XM and terrestrial radio around the globe, but the band is as much about personality as it is about music. The girls of XELLE have appeared on VH1’s hit reality show Big Ang and been featured guests on Oxygen’s outrageous Jersey Couture, where they celebrated their curves, showed that real bodies are beautiful, and inspired millions to love themselves just as they are.
XELLE promotes a strong message of self acceptance, empowerment and kindness to others. This message inspired the band to collaborate with the nonprofit Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which works to provide safe school environments free of bullying for students and teachers of all backgrounds. XELLE released the hit single, “Invincible,” and donated the proceeds of song sales to GLSEN.
To protest anti-LGBT crackdowns around the world, XELLE unleashed the powerful human rights anthem, Red Flag. In conjunction with this release, they also started the #iRaiseARedFlag online protest, which aims to inspire everyone who cares about equality to make their views known and raise their voice against oppression.
Most recently, XELLE released the smash music video for their sizzling single, Sweat, guest starring Bianca Del Rio, Courtney Stodden, Andrew W.K. and Sherry Vine. The video features over-the-top parodies of 80’s fitness fanaticism, as well as a fierce cast of full figured dancers who, alongside XELLE, remind viewers that you don’t have to have a “perfect” figure to be sexy.
Whether it be with catchy party songs or unforgettable, politically-inspired hooks, XELLE is taking over the world, one dance floor at a time.
