Sarantos: The DIY Music Maverick & Proud Nerd
12 years and still getting away with it!?
Who says nerds can’t make hit music? Meet Sarantos—a Chicago-based solo artist, retired superhero, and proud nerd who’s never afraid to stand out. Known for his DIY approach, Sarantos has racked up international awards and impressive iTunes chart positions in categories like Rock, Country, and Christian, hitting #1 multiple times in the UK and South Africa. He’s even topped the Spotify charts, claiming the #1 spot in Iceland across all genres!
This singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, book author, screenwriter, comic book fanatic, radio show host, and part-time spy defies convention. His sound is described as “emotionally powerful” with a unique blend of ’80s rock, modern pop, and heartfelt storytelling. A cross between Queen, Ed Sheeran, and Steve Perry, Sarantos’ music connects deeply with fans while pushing genre boundaries. He’s definitely an alien who landed here to infect the human race and spread the disease of music.
The Sarantos Journey: Music, Stories & More
Since 2014, Sarantos has released a new song, lyric video, music video, book chapter, and poem every month—totaling 20 albums with 272 original songs and 11 books so far. He has had numerous media placements for his songs, instrumentals & cues including several episodes of The Young & the Restless. Sarantos’ dedication is simple but bold: he’ll continue this artistic cycle every month, every year, until the day he dies. It’s all organic, raw, and free from commercial influence—100% certified nerdy goodness.
His art speaks to the nerds, the misunderstood, and anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. Every November, Sarantos releases a new album and book, adding to a growing collection of stories that inspire and entertain.
The Sound & The Show
Known for his diverse sound, Sarantos’ music blends rock, pop, folk, and experimental styles to keep fans guessing—and grooving. He’s even found a way to share the stage with industry giants through The Songwriters Show, a #1-ranked 101.9 Reality Radio show that reaches listeners in all 206 countries. Syndicated on over 60 platforms, from iHeartRadio to Spotify, the show provides a global platform for artists and fans alike.

His latest music is distributed globally by Virgin Music Group/Universal, via BGA Music and LRT Music.
Humanity, Humor & Heart
Beyond the music, Sarantos is committed to helping others. A portion of all proceeds goes to charities that his fans help select each month, including the American Cancer Society, Make-A-Wish, and St. Jude’s, among many others. 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 pure: to make music that leaves a lasting impact.
In short, Sarantos is here to make music for those who don’t quite fit in, for those who crave something different, and for those who believe in the power of a good song to change the world.
You can’t buy happiness, but you can listen to Sarantos—and that’s kind of the same thing.
