Xavier Dotson, better known as Zaytoven,^[1] is an American record producer out of Atlanta, Georgia born in Germany on an Army base^[2] but raised in San Francisco, California and later to move to Atlanta, Georgia.

He has also worked with other notable Atlanta artists, such as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, Gorilla Zoe, Young Jeezy and OJ Da Juiceman.

It wouldn..t be until five years later would Zaytoven join the rest of his family in the Dirty South back in 2000. ..I got enough money to get my own equipment, and I didn..t really have no place to put it there,.. he says. ..So I moved to where my people were, and I brought my equipment..." ^[3]
