DOWNLOAD – Mick Boogie & Gakcity.com-Thepressplay.com present- Curtis Santiago – HAVE MERCYYY
Everyone is looking for the next big thing in music. So <http://Gakcity.com/> Gakcity.com, <http://Thepressplayshow.com/> Thepressplayshow.com, and Mick Boogie came together to present music’s next big superstar Curtis Santiago with an eclectic rock, soul, and hip hop inspired mix cd.
Curtis Santiago and his band mate Mikey Mike took their favorite electro, pop, rock, and hip hop songs from last year and instead of doing a traditional cover of each song they decided to reproduce each song entirely. This mix cd is a showcase of Curtis Santiago’s soulful vocals and Mikey Mike’s powerful guitar riffs and melodic productions.
After one listen to Curtis’s remakes of hit songs by artists’ such as T.I., The Killers, Lykke Li, Kings of Leon, Santogold,Kanye West, & many others mixed with a few of Curtis’s original songs you will see why this mix cd is called “ HAVE MERCYYY!”
Curtis Santiago is a Canadian born musician and an accomplished artist. Curtis’s paintings have helped open doors for his music and vice versa. No matter the comparisons you attempt to draw from Prince to Lenny Kravitz to the Fresh Prince, Curtis Santiago’s music and art explode with color & depth, and will make you want more!
