JSanti
JSanti (John Santiago) is a singer-songwriter, artist, multi-instrumentalist, business operator and native New Yorker with a songwriting style characterized by a mix of R&B, Soul, Blues & Rock.
At the age of 13, J experienced the sudden and traumatic loss of his first love due to a tragic car accident. Confused and uncertain, he felt lost, searching for an outlet. At the age of 15, he began writing poetry intensely and soon began singing in a band with friends. He found the process of writing, singing and performing songs so intensely therapeutic that upon the break up of the band, he refused to stop and decided to teach himself guitar.
The guitar came naturally and as he discovered blues guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King and Jimi Hendrix, his understanding leapt forward at a tremendous rate. John’s current songwriting continues to promulgate his belief of songwriting as a means of self therapy and personal expression. His lyrics are often vulnerable and direct, with admissions of deep seated emotion.
