Xenia Rubinos

Xenia Rubinos was born in Hartford, CT to a Puerto Rican mother and a Cuban father. She studied Jazz composition at the Berklee College of Music. She spent most of her 20s acting as the primary care giver for her father as he dealt with a degenerative illness, which inspired her song Black Stars. Xenia’s music is not easily categorized as she crosses many genres in both her lyrics and her sound, making categorization of her music difficult.
