Xavier LaRon – Tenor
Native of Beaufort, SC, and singing since the age of 4, Xavier brings soul, energy, and authenticity to every note. Raised in the church and seasoned through high school chorus, gospel choir, and university ensembles, music isn’t just a talent for him, it’s home.

Teaching and working locally and abroad, founders, Tiffany Bostick and T’Nai Burton have discovered that it is very important to understand the differences around rules and expectations of people from various backgrounds. If we do not take this stance; mistakes, misunderstandings, and inappropriate actions will cause tension and could cost billions of dollars in losses for commercial entities.

In our classrooms, we see firsthand the struggles that students face on a daily basis. As a result, We are Eclectic was born.
