She answers to one ear — her own. A profile of the independent R&B artist turning a home studio into a signature.
Xtina Lee — the Princess of R&B — is an independent singer, songwriter and producer crafting polished, emotionally-driven records with a modern edge and a timeless pop-soul core. Working between Greenwich, Connecticut and New York City, she builds every song from her home studio: writing the lyrics, singing the leads and africana-inspired harmonies, recording, and engineering the final master herself.
That full-process control is the whole point. Under her own woman-owned label, Phoenix Records, Xtina layers complex melodies and clean, intentional production into music about resilience and forward motion — intimate enough for headphones, big enough for the room.
The numbers back it up. Across an all-time catalog her songs have drawn more than 190,000 streams on Spotify, led by two breakout singles — “Don’t Leave Me Baby.” at 70,475 plays and “One.” at 57,156. She has charted Top 40 on ReverbNation, earned spins on Skunk Live Radio and Amazing Radio, and landed in playlists across the platforms — distributed everywhere from Apple Music to Pandora and Deezer.
Phoenix Records is more than a name on the label copy: it is a full creative house. Alongside the music, the studio produces music videos and cinematography, and Xtina is open to writing original songs and scores for film, short films and documentaries — building something real, on her own terms, and selectively open to the right label partnership.
