“You are brilliant, and I’m not just saying it! I adore your tone! So smooth, suits the song fully! I am your fan now, I will be back more than gladly! Honestly impressive!”
– Mihaela Claudia P.
What are your live performances like?
Overall, I can easily play up to 4 hours of acoustic covers and originals.
Covers can include a wide range of songs: The Beatles, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Jazz Standards, Classic Rock, Acoustic Hip Hop, Dance Songs, and much more!
If you’re looking for a more intimate, acoustic setting, then I can play solo for your guests to enjoy.
Or I can play as a trio band (with bass and drums added) for a fuller, livlier set — This ensemble is very flexible and works well in all kinds of spaces and venues. Here’s a video of us playing “Hemingway” (pardon the messy garage):
I’ll be sure to provide all of my own sound and lighting equipment (if needed), show up early (at least 30 min before showtime) to set up and sound check.
For public events, I’ll invite family, friends, and promote the event online!
“Your singing was, obviously, brilliant. Your cadence, pronunciation, pitch, runs and emotion were all present, in buckets. You also know how to write a chorus: It’s one thing to have a catchy, high energy chorus, but fitting some elegant, expressive lyrics into it is a beautiful thing indeed.”
– Pitchfork Joe

“Your voice sounds so great with the tone of the uke!”
– Hannah C.
Can you explain your style/music/history? (bio)
Dylan Santiago is a baritone-ukulele playing, singer/songwriter from the Salem, OR area. His sound can be described as cross between Jack Johnson/Jason Mraz/Ed Sheeran. As a classically-trained tenor, he likes to add powerful vocals to memorable melodies accompanied by the acoustic, harp-like sound of the baritone ukulele. He started writing songs and performing in various places through years of travel across Europe and Asia. In August 2020, he recorded, produced, and released his first EP, “The KL EP” in his bedroom in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since 2021, he’s become a full-time musician — publishing more than 70 original songs, playing over 350 shows, and amounting over 700 hours on stage.
“You’re the best music I’ve ever heard in person”
-Christian S.
