Anticipation finally meets realization in the Curtis Santiago's CD Release TKO!
The album has been a long time coming due to coordinating schedules of all related parties including the hectic production cycles of Juno award winner Brian Howes and K-Os producer, Roger Swan.
Curtis' own experience both in and out of studio are fundamental in building this unique project; his recent performance experiences abroad prompting new sound and freedom of expression.
Over the last few years he has crossed the country performing at various events. He has toured the UK with DJs Vinyl Richie, Ali B, ASkillz and Krafty Kutz. He has recorded in the UK with ASkillz and guested on a Supercharged track. He has inhaled the spirit of Amsterdam and left his own brand of music there. The Caymans has left him sun kissed. He has truly been on an adventure.
So while still an indie artist, he is forging ahead to conquer previously untapped markets while keeping the attention of his loyal fans. Still unlabeled in style and without financial backing, this fan base continues to grow.
Critics and fans agree Santiago's ability to throw out a freestyle rhyme in the middle of a show or attack a song like a true indie rocker set him apart. The sexual nuances and metaphoric whim only succeed in complementing his eclectic style. The album is raw. What you see is what you get. He wears emotion on his sleeve - when he's wearing a shirt that is.
Once shy about his slim physique, this reservation has been left by the road somewhere. He's an all out show that will knock you out live.
Curtis Santiago releases his new CD TKO. Get ready - the bell's about to ring, and it's only round one
