SANTANDER

Venezuelan singer-songwriter Santander is fast becoming one of the most promising new voices in Latin music, building a career that bridges global songwriting success with an emerging artistry rooted in honesty, emotion, and personal storytelling.

Originally from Venezuela, Santander first arrived in Miami on a graduation trip gifted by his father, what was meant to be temporary quickly became life-changing. Drawn to the city's energy, diversity, and creative possibilities, he decided to stay and pursue music full time. One of his first major breaks came unexpectedly: a casual encounter with Puerto Rican star Nicky Jam on a Miami basketball court opened a door to the industry and marked the start of his professional journey.

Since then, demand for his songwriting has only grown, leading to collaborations with artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Álvaro Díaz, Beéle, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Carlos Vives, Danny Ocean, David Bisbal, Diego Torres, Enrique Iglesias, Fonseca, Nicky Jam, Ozuna, Rawayana, and Thalía, among others, cementing his reputation as a go-to songwriter in contemporary Latin music.

Among his standout credits is "Imagínate" by Danny Ocean and Kapo, a global hit that reached No. 1 on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart and earned RIAA Platinum certification. He also contributed to Fonseca's Tropicália, which won Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the 2024 Latin GRAMMYs, one of several Latin GRAMMY-nominated and winning projects to feature his songwriting, and further evidence of his role behind some of the genre's most impactful releases.

That momentum has entered a new chapter with his signing to Universal Music Latino as an artist, with acclaimed producer duo Vitto & Renzo serving as creative A&Rs for the project. Recognized for both his songwriting credibility and his artistic vision, Santander is carving out a distinct place in contemporary Latin pop, a creator behind chart-topping hits and a performer with a voice unmistakably his own.
