Santi White (born September 25, 1976), better known by her stage name Santigold (formerly Santogold), is an American songwriter, producer, and pop singer. Her debut album Santogold was released to positive reviews in 2008. Her second album Master of My Make-Believe was released in April 2012.
Santi White attended Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and then later attended college at Wesleyan University, where she double-majored in Music and African-American studies. The artist got her pseudonym in the 1990s from a friend's nickname for her. She worked for Epic Records as an A&R representative, but left the position to co-write and executive produce How I Do, the debut album from the singer Res.
White was the singer of the Philadelphia-based punk rock band Stiffed, whose 2003 album, Sex Sells, and 2005 album, Burned Again, were produced by Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer. While in this group, she was offered a solo contract by Martin Heath of Lizard King Records.
Her initial singles "Creator" and "L.E.S. Artistes" received attention from Internet media in 2007.
My name is Anne, I got a plan
I may lack virtue but I'm penitent
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
To lose my mind it's never easy
A shadow still there's weight to me
Ah-ooooh
Ah-ooooh
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes, the more it takes
J, j, jesus pieces
My name is Anne, I'll take a stand
I'll hold my head up dig on in
Ah-oooooooh
You can bait me for the hell of it
I'll take it for the hell of it
See it there but it's too far ahead
Go numb from how bad I want it
See it there but it's too far ahead
And I hear you calling to me right from here
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes, the more it takes
J, j, jesus pieces
Ah-oooooooh
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
the more I try
the more it gets too complicated
J, j, jesus pieces
Rescue me
The more I give up
The more it takes, the more it takes
