Santigold, born Santi White on September 25, 1976, in Philadelphia, is a genre-defying artist whose music encompasses a mix of electro-pop, indie rock, and new wave influences with touches of reggae and punk. She first emerged on the music scene with her eponymous debut album 'Santogold' (later changed to 'Santigold' due to a legal dispute) in 2008, which was celebrated for its bold, eclectic sound and earned her critical acclaim. Her unique style and aesthetic quickly distinguished her within the music landscape, allowing her to collaborate with a range of artists and producers which showcased her versatility as an artist.

Over the years, Santigold has continued to push musical boundaries and evolve her sound. Her sophomore album, 'Master of My Make-Believe' (2012), further cemented her as an innovative force in music, with singles like "Disparate Youth" showcasing her ability to weave social commentary into infectious beats. Her subsequent releases, including the playful critique of consumer culture in '99 Cents' (2016) and the surprise mixtape 'I Don't Want: The Gold Fire Sessions' (2018), demonstrate her commitment to experimentation and resistance to being pigeonholed. Her most recent project, 'Spirituals' (2022), signifies a continuation of her artistic journey, introduce fans to newer layers of her sonic landscape, and reaffirm her status as a high priestess of artistic innovation.
