Santon Music

Santon is an award-winning musician who is blind from birth and autistic. He was born in 1991 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and at the age of 1.5 years moved with his family to Massachusetts, USA.

Showing musicality early, Santon began piano lessons at 3.5 years old. He is an alumnus of Perkins School for the Blind. Over the years at Perkins, he performed with Orleans, Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals, Peter Wolf, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, and Natalie Merchant.

Santon went on to graduate from Berklee College of Music, summa cum laude. He plays multiple instruments in various genres and composes music.

Santon performs as a solo pianist, accompanies singers, and plays piano in the Boston Tango Orchestra. He has also been collaborating with a Kentucky-native writer and spoken word artist CD Collins, composing and playing music to her lyrics.

Santon performed in many Boston venues including Boston Symphony Hall, Berklee Performance Center, and Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, MA. He also traveled to Colorado, Kentucky, New York, and several other states to play solo or with his music partners.

Santon produced 2 albums: “Flavors of the Rainbow” – solo piano classical favorites, and “Night Animals” – CD Collins & Santon duet of spoken word with music.

When Santon doesn’t play music, he dances the Argentine tango, does acrobatics on a trapeze, windsurfs, rides a tandem bicycle with his dad, swims, skis, skates, travels, and fully enjoys life.
