Described as spiritual and sensual, Genie Santiago is a singer, poet, visual artist, community collaborator, and healer based out of Boston. Emerging from rough beginnings, her art draws from her experience growing up as a poor, Queer Latina and a survivor of sexual abuse. Her life and identity have inspired her mission to use her art to empower others to overcome trauma, decolonize the mind, promote sexual freedom, and stray from the ideals of self-hatred that society places upon us. In 2018, Genie released her debut EP "Know Your Worth" along with a music video for her hit single "2:22am" featuring Red Shaydez. As quoted in Vanyaland, "Santiago’s lyricism [in "Know Your Worth"] is poignant and heart-wrenching; through cautionary storytelling she ruefully illustrates that the journey to self-love typically tends to be a painstaking one." Summer 2019 came with the release of the single "Spirit Party" accompanied by a music video portraying a day in the life of Genie. The song is meant to connect the sexual and spiritual realms while raising consciousness towards the importance of yoni health, womb healing, Kundalini energy, and meditation. Sounds of R&B, Hip-Hop, Singing Bowls, and even "Om" chanting can all be found in this piece of art. Genie Santiago is currently working closely with producer/engineer Mertz on her new album for 2020 which will feature many of her favorite local artists. Stay tuned for more magic and healing music!
