Meet Santiago Alf - Decorative handwritten title with a star at the beginning.

Santiago Alf is a versatile artist from Cancún, Mexico, who has managed to kickstart his career by composing, playing, recording, producing, and distributing his creations. Fortunately—or perhaps as a result of his dedication—his work has been well-received by listeners, who often praise and enjoy hearing him.

PERSONAL PROJECT
Santiago has created a sort of annual album collection. In these, he explores various themes that reflect the experiences and emotions he was living through at that particular time in his life, aside from his other releases (which are not usually direct expressions of his life). Through this, Santiago seeks to record and leave behind a story of who he once was. Albums like 18 represent those dark moments and tough times; in fact, listening to 18 feels like hearing the echo of the screams he once let out. Albums like 20 evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the passage of time and purpose, creating a highly relatable atmosphere. These albums are named after a number, which represents his age.

Hidden Melodies - Encabezado decorativo con texto manuscrito y un ícono de bombilla al lado derecho.

Santiago has strategically “hidden” melodies from certain songs within others, creating connections between works that transcend time and, in turn, building a personal signature where his music not only exists but coexists. His entire body of work becomes a larger piece—one that is Santiago Alf.

The most popular and frequently used melody has been the chorus melody from the song Pensamiento Firme, which happens to be the first track Santiago formally released. Long-time fans will know that before Pensamiento Firme, there was another song, but that will remain as is. Interestingly, Pensamiento Firme was originally produced in GarageBand, a program pre-installed on Apple devices. Santiago recorded the song in his bedroom using just an iPad, his voice, and his hands.
