Composer, international touring musician and visual artist Craig Santiago (Santi) writes and produces music interwoven with tones of jazz, groove and trance. In 2020 he released two independent albums—Plant Medicine and Heavy Like Feather—featuring drums, piano, rhodes, synths and bass. A drummer and expert in percussion instruments, his musical talent also extends to keyboards, bass and singing.

In addition to creating and touring with his own music, Santi’s distinct drumming can be heard on many other album genres recorded with other international and local artists. 

Santi’s artistic style expands to his numerous paintings and drawings that have been shown at various galleries; a distinct parallel expression of his music connected to and inspired by nature. This inspiration of earth is captured by mesmerizing photographs taken during hiking excursions amassing to thousands of miles throughout the Catskill Mountain region.
