A singer-songwriter from Cali who regained control of his catalog after a legal fight.
If you're new to his stuff, 'Ojos Prohibidos' and 'No Me Sueltes' give you the picture. They're both clean, melodic pop songs that don't try too hard.
Santacruz's songs have a gentle, melodic quality that feels lived-in rather than flashy. 'Ojos Prohibidos' is a good example, it's a straightforward love song that doesn't need to shout. His work with artists like Alejandro Sanz and Juanes suggests he's respected by peers who recognize that kind of craft.
He put out his debut EP 'Soy' in 2015, then followed with albums like 'Nada Es Casual' and 'Elemental'. The 2018 label dispute over his music rights was a notable interruption, but he eventually got his catalog back and kept releasing music, including 2023's 'Amanecer'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
