Dylan Santiago

I'm a local, baritone ukulele playing, singer/songwriter. I grew up in the small city of Keizer, Oregon. There, I joined the school choir when I was 8 years old — I was hooked. Then, I picked up the Ukulele at 16 and tinkered around with it a bit for fun. When I moved to Orange County, I started performing at open mics and soon began writing my own songs. During my travels, I would busk in the streets and play impromptu sets in bars, cars, cafes, restaurants, parties, you name it… Thanks to some good people, I’ve found myself recording in state-of-the-art studios, filming promotional videos, writing songs professionally, and being honored as a special guest in Malaysia’s very first Ukulele Festival.
