Boston’s Genie Santiago combines a poetic, lyrical instinct with smooth production to address themes of self-empowerment, trauma, and healing. She flips the dial between R&B, hip-hop, and New Age shaman ritual – more often combining all three at once.

Cameos are a regular feature on her tracks, lending her projects a polished mixtape feel. Look for artists like ALGO, Nora Borealis, Forté, and Jazzmyn RED in her most recent full-length Inner Space.

On our featured track “Kindled Costumes,” Anaís Azul joins the proceedings in a powerful reminiscence on trauma and finding the strength to overcome.
