Santigold She's the best-kept secret in rock, but people are finally beginning to realize how good Santigold really is. Santi White, 32, is an American songwriter, producer and singer. Her first album, Santogold, came out in 2008. Singles like "L.E.S. Artistes" and "Creator" were Top 40 hits in the US and UK and appeared in many music magazines' list of best songs of the year. Santigold had to change her stage name earlier this year because a jewellery company called Santo Gold threatened to sue her if she didn't.
