About the author
2018 is year #5 as Sarantos keeps working hard to release a new song, music video and book chapter every month making his music come to life! In four years, he has released 8 albums with 110 original tracks as well as 4 fiction/fantasy books that parallel the songs!
There is always plenty of buzz as Sarantos releases something new for his fans every single week! Every year until the day he dies, Sarantos will release a new song and lyric video on the 1st Tuesday of every month, a new music video on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, a book chapter from his fiction/fantasy book on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, and a new Uncut Behind The Scenes video on the 4th Tuesday of every month. A new CD & book will then be released every November along with a surprise CD. Every year. Forever.
His music is 100% certified organic, gluten free and hypoallergenic! He continues to expand on his unique signature style with an eclectic mix of edgy experimentation tackling almost every genre imaginable. Fans enjoy regular surprises such as a Christmas album, solo and full instrumentals, bonus covers, a steady stream of witty radio interviews and much more. Fans always wonder what's next.
Sarantos unique sound has been best described by industry insiders as "an emotionally powerful vocal style masterfully united with music that is a fusion of classic 80s rock blended with modern soft rock and pop music!"
In 2017, Sarantos had two songs submitted and accepted for consideration for a Grammy Award for Rock Song of The Year & both songs made it to the final 300 and the last round of voting!
Sarantos has won 39 awards with Akademia LA Music, Beat 100 while also being nominated for the International Music & Entertainments Awards, Hollywood Music In Media and the Hollywood Songwriting Awards.
Even without a studio, label, ad agency or radio promoters, his songs Above The Clouds, Dreamer, and What If I Never See You Again have spent many months in the top 200 on the majors list in the US for radio airplay according to the Digital Radio Tracker Top 200 charts. On the independent charts, Sarantos has hit the top 10. He's even been picked up on the BBC worldwide!
Sarantos is not only a professional songwriter and producer but also an avid comic book reader, nerd, workaholic, one-time owner of the Millennium Falcon, gamer and zombie killer. He loves sarcasm because it's funny. He's more of a loner than a social butterfly but he's working on it. Sarantos prides himself on not releasing robotic music. Playing live, the music is authentic and real. It has imperfections because it is human. He is always trying to sound different musically, lyrically and vocally. He doesn't want fans or critics to get bored with his efforts or sound. Despite momentum, Sarantos still has not turned a profit since he gives away all songs, videos and books for free. He also doesn't put ads on his You Tube videos so fans can enjoy the experience without having to keep clicking on the close button for the ads every 10 seconds. Despite all of this, Sarantos still donates consistently to the various charities chosen by fans for his songs.
Sarantos currently has over 1.3M Social Media followers and has been rated #1 on Reverbnation in the rock and even pop genre worldwide on several occasions. Sarantos has performed at multiple venues including the Toronto Music Festival to a sold out live audience.
Sarantos music stimulates an overdue conversation in the always-changing music industry. Sarantos is a proud supporter of multiple charities and donates directly to many charitable organizations!
Sarantos Mission or Goal:
My goal when you listen to one of my songs is very simple. I want you to feel the need to:
