Santogold: The Next Big Thing




Santi White goes by the stage name of 'Santogold'. She worked for Epic Records as an A&R representative before becoming a singer/songwriter. White is ready to release her debut album 'Santogold' this Tuesday, April 29, 2008 on Downtown Records.

The album features appearances or production work from Chuck Tree of Bad Brains, Cliffored "Moonie" Pusey of Steel Pulse, Diplo, Freq Nasty, M.I.A, Naeem Juwan of Spank Rock, Radioclit, Sinden, Switch, Trouble Andrew, and XXXchange. The album's first singles, "Creator" and "L.E.S. Artistes", were both well received. Rolling Stone, Spin, and BBC all named Santogold an artist to watch in 2008.

Santi has also toured with M.I.A. and Björk on her 'Volta Tour' this past year and worked with Lily Allen on her sophomore release to be out later this year. Most recently she co-wrote Ashlee Simpson latest single 'Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)' and the album track 'Ragdoll'.
