Bio
Sarantos: The DIY Music Maverick & Proud Nerd
13 years and still getting away with it!😏
Who says nerds can’t make hit music? Meet Sarantos—a Chicago-based solo artist, Recording Academy member and retired superhero who’s been redefining DIY artistry for over a decade. Known for his genre-blending creativity, sharp sarcasm and relentless monthly content drops, he has earned international acclaim racking up awards and hitting #1 on iTunes and Spotify charts in genres like Rock, Country and Christian in multiple countries.
This singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, book author, screenwriter, comic book fanatic, radio show host, and part-time spy delivers a sound described as “emotionally powerful,” fusing '80s rock energy, modern pop polish, and raw, heartfelt storytelling. Think Queen meets Ed Sheeran with a hint of Steve Perry and a dash of chaos. His 1.2M+ monthly YouTube views and fiercely loyal fanbase prove he’s doing something very right by inviting fans into his personal orbit—or he's an extraterrestrial nerd, sent to Earth to spread a sonic virus one song at a time.
From the Mind of Sarantos: Music, Stories & More
Since 2014, Sarantos has released a new song, lyric video, music video, book chapter and poem every single month. That’s 22 albums, 295 original songs and 12 books—all independently produced, fully authentic and refreshingly unfiltered. Every November, he releases two albums, a book and screenplay, adding to a growing collection of stories that inspire and entertain. He has had numerous placements for his songs including The Young & the Restless. Sarantos vows to keep this monthly creative cycle going until the day he dies. It’s all organic, raw and free from commercial influence.
The Sound & The Songwriter Show
Genre-defying and endlessly surprising, Sarantos blends rock, pop, country, folk and experimental vibes to keep listeners hooked. He also hosts The Songwriter Show—a #1-ranked program on Reality Radio 101, syndicated on 60+ platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and iHeartRadio, reaching all 206 countries and giving artists a global spotlight.
Achievements & Recognition
From Grammy Award consideration (2017, 2024 & 2025), 78 music and film awards, 28 screenwriter awards, to features in Billboard, BBC airplay and regular placement on the Digital Radio Tracker Top 200, Sarantos has built serious industry credibility, without ever compromising his vision. He remains a fixture at #1 on ReverbNation’s global rock charts, proudly releasing his music entirely on his own—no label, no manager, no middleman, no marketing machine. Just one nerd against the world.
Humanity, Humor & Heart
At his core, Sarantos is here to connect and committed to helping others. Each month, a portion of proceeds goes to fan-selected charities including the American Cancer Society, Make-A-Wish, and St. Jude’s. His approach is as real as his performances, unpolished and human, never robotic. And while he’s a loner at heart with a love for sarcasm, his mission is to make music that leaves a lasting impact. And slowly, he’s become impossible to ignore.
His art speaks to nerds, outsiders, dreamers, anyone who’s ever felt too weird to fit in, those who crave something different, and those who believe in the power of a good song to change the world.
He is a storyteller who always has a story to tell…
You can’t buy happiness, but you can listen to Sarantos—and that’s kind of the same thing!
