Phideaux Xavier (born Scott Riggs, January 14, 1963) is an American television director and composer known for his self‑described style of psychedelic progressive gothic rock. He grew up near New York City and later settled in Los Angeles. Phideaux was born Scott Riggs on January 14, 1963, in Hastings‑on‑Hudson, as one of three children. He began composing music during his high‑school years. Phideaux’s earliest musical activities included performing with Mark Sherkus (piano), Dean Deluke (drums) and Bucky Deluke (trumpet) in a group called ESP. He later joined a Southern California band named the Delukes. He subsequently played in the progressive rock band Mirkwood, alongside Molly Ruttan (drums), Linda Ruttan‑Moldawsky (bass) and Amanda Ettlinger (flute). After Ettlinger’s departure and the addition of vocalist/keyboardist Valerie Gracius, the group shifted toward a punk/pop direction and adopted the name Sally Dick & Jane. They performed at several notable New York City venues, including Max’s Kansas City and CBGB, during the early to mid‑1980s, though they did not produce any significant recordings and remained a marginal presence in the scene. After the dissolution of Sally Dick & Jane, Phideaux began working independently as a one‑man recording project. He studied film and television production at New York University, and after graduating, returned to collaborative music‑making. He formed an acoustic‑leaning ensemble called The SunMachine with childhood friend Ariel Farber (violin, vocals) and various other musicians. The group performed a largely acoustic form of progressive rock featuring flutes, violin, keyboards, percussion, twelve‑string guitar and electric bass.
