I have had a huge crush on Santogold (Santi-White) for awhile and my obsessive musical love affair went next-level when I interviewed her recently at the Government.

She was very sweet, very stylish and very r e a l. That sounds like a cliche, but the 32 year old ex punk star was surprisingly down to earth for a superstar, but after all isn’t that how we want our celebrities?

Here are 4 things about her you probably didn’t know before reading this blog:

4- She is engaged!! Awwww sorry kids she’s taken… no date set as of yet and her fiance travels with her on the road.

3- He also brought the sweet army pants she’s wearing in this pic (also you probably can’t see, but they have genie-like elastic at the ankle… AMAZING!!)

2- She isn’t a huge fan of R&B… we got in to a whole conversation about the evils of visual judgment and how perception is so subjective…(she used to be lead singer of this punk band).

1- She actually writes her songs by creating a melody first, then humming and making sounds along to the music which she then translates into words based on what the ‘humms’ already sort of sound like…!?! Cool.

Yey…you’re welcome
MOOWAH!!!

Love st
