 In a time when synthetic melodies, uncreative lyrics, and mediocre vocals tend to rule the airwaves, the industry is starving for creativity that falls within their formula. The public is hungry for freshness, and seem to be disgruntled about the limits of the current Top 40 rotation. The public has spoken and we have the statistics to prove that they want Santalina!

Most artists' press kits will throw useless background information at you and give you a demo that doesn't live up to its "hype". Santalina is about pure facts and statistics with more publicity than most signed artists. Hmm. Let's just start of the top with & www.msn.com... Santalina has been called "The Face of MSN.com" due to her frequent appearances on their home page which gets over 250,000,000 hits daily (www.alexa.com). Her picture has appeared on the front page 19 times since July 2006 for a total of 4.5 billion views. MSN has set up countless links going directly to her page throughout the summer/fall. This massive amount of awareness is due to her five-part mini-documentary conducted by SPRITE Soda for their "Exposure" campaign featuring Violator’s Chris Lightly. View the five part mini-documentary at www.exposure.msn.com .

BILLBOARD MAGAZINE & While most signed artists work hard for a little blurb in this industry making magazine, Santalina had her picture and half page article in the July 8th, 2006 edition on page 24 based off her Sprite Documentary. Director of Sprite, Don King, mentions that she has received "millions of impressions" on her site. Santalina has also appeared in many other publications such as PULSE (Philly), CEBU (Airline magazine), SWAGG (Toronto), X News (Jamaican Newspaper) (she had a full page article twice), CONNEX (NYC), Urban America, (Miami), Status (France), RAINE (front cover), and many others.

MUSIC & Santalina has been working with some of the biggest names in the music industry including production by Grammy Award Winning (Song of the Year) Eddie Hustle (U Remind Me by Usher, Girl Talk by TLC, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, 112, Tyrese), multi-platinum producer Mr. Mig (LeAnn Rimes, Brian McKnight, Bow Wow, Omarion, Beyonce), and Lounge Lizzards (Black Eyed peas) She also has collaborations with Omillio Sparks (Roc-a-fella/State Property), Ma Barker (Kool G Rap’s wife), La Femme Nikita (Making the Band 3), Hedonis Da Amazon (DJ Kay Slay’s Streetsweepers), K. Banger (Shaman Works Records), Sarina Suno (multi-platinum artist on Sony Japan), and many others.

Her current self-titled CD (under Jaxum Records) has sold astronomical numbers for an independent artist through her website (www.santalina.net) and her performances. “SHAKE” MUSIC VIDEO & Santalina’s SHAKE music video (featuring reggae artist KC Jockey) has accomplished some incredible things. For starters, its currently in heavy rotation on MTV Tempo, will be spotlighted on BET on Blast (July 2007), and hit #2 video on CVJ (Jamaica’s top viewed station). It also has appeared on WHOM? MAG TV (reaches 120 million households in 40 countries), and many other programs. It received over 5,000 views in less than 3 days on www.earwaxrecords.com. .
