Sarantos has been writing lyrics since 4th grade and has always had an abnormal fascination with music, much to the expense of a normal personality development. Sarantos lives for humor but also humility confessing he's "made more mistakes than anyone else alive!"
He underwent many personal challenges including his father passing away in 2010 after a long hard-fought battle with lung cancer, dealing with personal health issues like asthma, chronic allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis with a stricture the size of a straw and a dairy food allergies, chronic neck and back pain, perfectionist tendencies and perpetual feelings of inadequacy.
Sarantos is a proud supporter of charities & donates directly to many charitable organizations!
Sarantos has always been inclined to help people in need and is proud to donate a portion of all proceeds to charity, hopefully inspiring other artists to do the same. His fans help him choose the charity each month for every song.
