Exzavier Whitley

Exzavier Whitley is an American singer-songwriter, musician and composer from Denver, Colorado. Working across contemporary folk, acoustic music and R&B, he has developed an independent catalogue spanning albums, EPs and singles, alongside wider creative and entrepreneurial projects.

His recorded work can be found across major music platforms including Apple Music, Spotify and ReverbNation.

Early Life and Introduction to Music

Whitley’s relationship with writing began before his recording career. According to his Spotify artist biography, he began writing poetry and short stories while at school before progressing into songwriting around 2006.

He began learning guitar after receiving his first instrument in 2008 and developed his playing independently. His biography describes him as largely self-taught across the instruments he plays.

Writing and music subsequently became important forms of creative expression for Whitley, with his early material drawing on personal experiences and events from his childhood and adolescence. His development as a writer and musician is also documented through his Lulu author profile and ReverbNation biography.

Music Career

Whitley began experimenting with recording during his teenage years, initially creating short songs and musical ideas using his phone before beginning to share his work more publicly. This period of his early musical development is documented in his Spotify artist biography.

He gained wider online attention through the original performance video for his song “Finally Happy,” which reportedly attracted more than 16,000 views. The track and its online reach have been documented by The Famous People and in later IssueWire coverage of Whitley’s music career.

His catalogue has also included tracks such as “Spilled,” “Where To” and “Stop Cutting.” “Spilled” has additionally appeared through his N1M artist profile.

Whitley released the four-track EP Gone West, featuring collaborations with fellow singer-songwriters Lisa Von H and Helen Rae Glindemann. His wider catalogue includes the album Backroads, released in 2014 and still available through Apple Music.

Tracks from Backroads include “How Will You Be,” “Rocking the Boat,” “Right in My Arms,” “Remember Me,” “Meant to Be,” “Just Life” and “From That Day.”

Whitley also appears on The Acoustic Guitar Project: Los Angeles 2014 with the track “Drifting Away.” His subsequent releases include the 2021 single “Night & Day,” while further music including “My Love For You,” “Summertime,” “Bring Dat” and “You Know (Remix)” can be found through his ReverbNation catalogue.

His songwriting frequently centres on lived experience and emotional storytelling. His artist profiles describe writing and music as longstanding creative outlets, with projects exploring personal experiences through acoustic, folk and, increasingly, R&B-influenced material.

Performing and Creative Work

Alongside his recording career, Whitley has pursued performance across music and theatre.

His Spotify biography documents his involvement with the Inside Out Community Arts Program in Culver City, California, where he participated in theatre work during 2008 and 2009.

The same biography records an early acting appearance alongside his uncle, professional comedian Vargus Mason, in a short pilot project.

Whitley has also continued performing live as a musician. His ReverbNation performance history documents appearances including Denver Art Society in 2023, Lincoln Station Music in 2021 and Royal Cup Cafe in Long Beach in 2018.

OneThrone Productions

Beyond his work as a recording artist, Whitley identifies himself as the CEO of OneThrone Productions LLC, an independent creative venture encompassing his music and other projects.

His LinkedIn profile identifies him as an American R&B singer-songwriter and CEO of OneThrone Productions LLC, while the company has also developed projects extending beyond recorded music.

Whitley has used the OneThrone name across entertainment and creative projects, including music, clothing and digital ventures.

Writing and Other Creative Work

Whitley’s creative work extends beyond music.

Having begun with poetry and short-form writing, he has continued to explore writing alongside his recording career. His Lulu author profile documents this aspect of his work and his development from poetry and songwriting into broader creative projects.

This combination of songwriting, music, performance, podcasting and entrepreneurship has allowed Whitley to build an independent creative identity spanning multiple formats.

Recent Work

Whitley has continued developing new music beyond his earlier folk and acoustic catalogue.

In 2026, plans were announced for No Boundaries, an R&B-focused project intended to expand his sound through new collaborations and a broader contemporary direction.

The project represents a progression from the folk and acoustic foundations of his earlier career towards a wider mix of R&B, contemporary songwriting and cross-genre production.
