Xavi Reija

about

Born June 16, 1972 (Barcelona, Spain) Xavi REIJA is a Spanish drummer born in 1972 in Barcelona. He began his musical studies at the age of 19 and finished among others Berklee College of Music in 1999 and since then worked mostly as a session musician with a lot of jazz related bands and other internationally known prolific artists such as Gary WILLIS of TRIBAL TECH and Steve HOGARTH of MARILLION to name a few from the progressive rock scene. Around 2004 he started working as band leader in the form of his projects like DX and the other simply named XAVI REIJA ELECTRIC QUINTET from which he regularly kept in the line-up the bassist Bernat HERNANDEZ (student of Gary WILLIS) and the Serbian jazz rock guitarist Dusan JEVTOVIĆ. This is the trio that worked on his recent album 'Resolution' in 2014 which REIJA dedicated to his father Joseph REIJA. In the projects he led he plays a fresh sound of fusion mimicking music like post rock, but besides his solo discography he is still a very active live performer in other bands and an author and instructor for playing the drums on the side.
