When Jose Santiago takes to the stage, no matter what genre of music you prefer, you can't help but be drawn in. A producer, songwriter, emcee and performer, Jose is a New York based artist with a soulful sound and star-studded portfolio to go with it. Since 2004, Jose has been working his way through the underground music scene, both performing and writing music for a diverse array of artists.
Touring with bands such as LMFAO and Jamie Drastik, Jose garnered experience appearing in showcases across the nation, including ATL's "Make it or Break it Tour." He has shared the stage with artists such as Jadakiss, Stylez P, Swizz Beatz, Flo-Rida, Tony Sunshine, and Jim Jones.
His multi-faceted sound, as well as an ability to apply his expertise to so many different areas of music, makes Jose a truly compelling artist. However, it is steadfast work ethic that has propelled his career, and Jose knows first hand how important it is to support talent with hard work.
A particluarly successful project Jose's proud of is "Thank You. More Please," which was written and produced for young talent Stella Santana, daughter of the legendary Carlos Santana. Their collaboration captured the interest of Vogue Magazine, and since then has been garnering acclaim from music critics and lifestyle enthusiasts alike.
Most recently, his newest single, "Let It Go," is on it's way to becoming and international club anthem getting overseas airplay in Germany, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Jose thrives on creativity; his music embodies a combination of his personal style, sound and cerebral process.
"I've literally been in mid conversation with someone and suddenly stopped listening to them because I had to reach for my iPhone to jot down a sick metaphor that magically popped into my head... It's kind of rude of me but I'm an artist. When artists get inspired, at least for me, everything gets blocked out and I sort of drift into Tunnel Vision Mode." I'm a firm believe in bringing an idea to life immediately," explains Jose.
He recently performed with Stella Santana at Toshi's Living Room for Resident Magazine's Tasting New York Fundraiser hosted by Ernie Anastos, and regularly appears all over the New York area at venues including Brooklyn's B66 Lounge, the Dorothy Jones Theater, and the Gallery Bar. He'll be performing at New York's legendary venue, The Cutting Room, this month, and fans can find his music online at iamjosesantiago.com.
Whether he's writing, producing, or performing himself, Jose is an incredibly creative talent whose passion is unbridled and whose mission is clear. Expect to hear and see more of Jose in the future as he makes his way as a leading NYC musician.
