Justin Trudeau's son Xav on following in his father's political footsteps: 'It's not my thing'
Before launching his music career earlier this year, Xav Trudeau, the oldest son of former prime minister Justin Trudeau, flew mostly under the public's radar.
But with three tracks already released and piling up plays — his debut, Til the Nights Done, just eclipsed 100,000 on Spotify and 170,000 on YouTube — Xav is starting to come to their attention.
The feedback is not always positive, however.

After all, she had been training in dance since age six. But a career in pop music wasn't an immediately expected followup to that performance. Only a year later, she was releasing singles on her previously dance-video-heavy YouTube channel and had inked a deal with RCA Record in 2019. Her debut EP, All the Things I Never Said, dropped in 2020 and contained her top-15 Canadian pop-charting single Stupid. McRae was on her way. Jump ahead to the 2025 Juno Awards in Vancouver, and McRae and Josh Ross were the two most nominated artists, with five nods each. By the end of the night, McRae walked away with four awards; Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year for Think Later, as well as single of the year for Exes.
