Xander is a given name or a nickname for Alexander (alternate spelling Zander). It is also a surname in the United States (#75971 out of 88799 in the 1990 U.S. Census). The name is pronounced /ˈzɑːndər/ or /ˈzændər/.

MC Xander is a British musician and producer, known for creating his music using only his voice and a loopstation, which layers up his vocal sounds. His music references dancehall, reggae, dubstep, drum and bass and hip hop but more broadly fits into the electronica and IDM genres. In 2010 he described his sound as ‘progressive dancehall’. At his shows all the songs, including the bass, beat, backing vocals, lyrics and all sounds, are created live using his voice. In recent years he has started using an effects box which processes his voice and increases the variety of textures and sounds he can add to his tracks. He introduced the combination of using a Kaoss pad and a loopstation with all vocal performances, inspiring other beatbox artists such as Beardyman to experiment with this technology.

MC Xander was born in Kenya in 1983 but grew up in Scotland and Dorset. Having always had a strong inclination to music he studied for his BA in ‘Commercial Music’ at the University of Westminster. Moving to London to study on the course he was exposed to the ever-growing variety of electronic music which has emerged in recent years. He went straight into the music scene as a resident MC for the London dance night Chew the Fat! at the club The End. There he became known for his human beatbox skills and energetic live performances. He then joined the breakbeat act Atomic Hooligan as their MC. He also performed with breakbeat DJs such as Rennie Pilgim and Eddie Temple Morris and is featured on the track, We Control, by DJ Hyper.
