SAINTE is the solo project of Tay Jardine, who first rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the pop-punk band We Are the In Crowd. The transition from the group's ensemble dynamic to her solo endeavor marked a significant shift in sound and personal expression. SAINTE emerged onto the scene with a more pop-oriented ethos, reflecting Tay's growth as an artist and her desire to explore new musical territories beyond her pop-punk roots.

Debuting with the vibrant track "Technicolor," SAINTE swiftly garnered attention with her colorful aesthetics and infectious melodies. Her recent releases, such as "bad summer" and "Everything Makes Me Sad," showcase a blend of candid lyricism and polished pop sensibilities. These tracks, alongside the emotionally resonant "Back 2 Me" and the buoyantly wistful "smile, and wave," further develop her narrative of navigating life's highs and lows with a sound that's both introspective and anthemic. With these songs, SAINTE has carved out a niche for herself, delivering confessional pop with an edge, and securing a dedicated fan base eager for her relatable tales and sonic evolution.
