Xiuhtezcatl is a musician, activist, and a prolific voice for his generation. Xiuhtezcatl’s first relationship with music was as a means of preserving his Indigenous culture and language, which influence the sound and direction of his releases to this day. Drawing from his Xochimilca and Mexican roots, along with the environmental justice work his mother raised him in, his lyrics resonate with depth and purpose.
