Santi White loves percussions, she studied Cuban, Haitian and West African Hand drumming.
Then she went to New York to work as A&R for Epic but ended up writing and producing Res's debut "How I do". She also sang in the punk band "Stiffed" but left in 2007 because she was offered a solo contract.
Her latest project is "Santogold" in which she collaborates with hotshot beatmeisters like Spank Rock, FreQ Nasty, Diplo, Switch and fellow "Stiffed" member John Hill to provide us with tremendous electro beats and heavy bass lines mixed with punk guitars and new wave synths.
Her style is comparable to M.I.A. (with whom she recently toured) but more varied and sophisticated.
The handful of tracks that have already surfaced definitely showcase her versatility and talent as a vocalist, as well as a nice range of production styles and influences.

Her debut album "I believe in Santogold" drops on April 22 on Lizard King Records.

This is her very arty video for L.E.S Artistes:
