Overview

Every year, "Singin' Santa" creates & performs a new, original Christmas song for my clients!
It could be about Santa & Mrs. Claus, or the elves & reindeer-- or about the weirdest Christmas Eve of all time!
My most popular show-stopper is "Santa's Route": about the night I had a 'senior moment' & forgot some of my stops! This song features 121 place names in about 4 minutes-- and is my MOST-requested, year after year...

The Best and Only Santa you will ever need!!!

We hired Santa Ric for our community Christmas party, and I have never seen a more authentic Santa. The absolute best! Even had the adults believing! Will never hire anyone else for any Christmas function.

What to expect

The bigger your event, the more experienced you want your Santa to be-- that's just common sense.
If you have a major holiday extravaganza coming up, SINGIN' SANTA IS YOUR GUY!!
I regularly perform for audiences of 5000 or more-- and folks, if you cared enough to stand in line to see me, I'm looking forward to meeting you!
But even if you're planning a smaller, more intimate event (say, family & friends gathered around the Christmas tree in your living room), Singin' Santa still offers more bang for your entertainment buck-- not to mention bragging rights for hosting the Season's Best Party & a TRULY UNIQUE HOLIDAY MEMORY.

About

I've been an entertainer my whole life.
I started modeling at age 17 & began doing TV commercials shortly thereafter.
I was singing professionally throughout the 90s, and when I became a Santa in '02, I decided my niche would be "SINGIN' SANTA".
In 2005, a wealthy client asked if I would sing a "special song" for his daughter before her family & friends, as his Christmas gift that year. I said I'd do better than that: I'd perform a NEW song, just for her!
That parody, "Rudolph The Red's Niece, RADAR", was my first-ever attempt at songwriting!
The next year, I had another "Singin' Santa Special" ready to go: "Santa's Route" is a parody about the night I forgot some of my stops, and Mrs. Claus made me recite my route from memory before I could get my Christmas Cookies that year... nearly 20 years later, it is still my most demanded song!!
Most years I write, produce & perform an all-new Christmas song-- of course, not all of them turn out to be "Hall of Fame" material... But if it impresses my clients, I will perform it live for the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas (FORBS) sometime during our annual Santa Reunion Weekend-- and only if my fellow Clauses love it, does it get recorded & distributed online... FOR FREE!
