Next show: Los Angeles, Fri 6 Nov
After spending the late 1990’s playing rhythm guitar for a touring Reggae band, “Porque Sí” Danny Santacruz began his own music career in earnest in 2004. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and his vocals, Porque Sí played bars, clubs, and private events throughout Southern California. The consistent stream of shows, highlighted by a mix of original songs and unexpected acoustic renditions of hip-hop classics, gained the attention of jazz pianist/composer Daniel Nielsen and Grammy-winning producer Seth Atkins Horan. In 2007, the trio recorded Porque Sí’s original album “Vicarious” at Draco Rosa’s Phantom Vox Studios in Los Angeles. That same year, Porque Sí joined the Reggae band Sure Shot Rockers. As a songwriter and vocalist, he released four studio albums, including tracks with genre legends The Wailing Souls, Michigan & Smiley, Nadine Sutherland, and a remix single with pop star Selena Gomez. By 2016, Porque Sí slipped right back into his signature “gangsta-coustic” style. Since then, he averages more than 150 shows a year, holding multiple residencies across venues throughout California. Whether it’s solo or teaming up with his wife Monica O, audiences love Porque Sí’s take on classics and originals.
