Singing since a very young age, George A. Santino has taken a longer path to reach this point in his music career.  “Santino shelved that dream to provide for his family.  He couldn’t have picked a better profession than Microsoft, where he first started out as an entry-level lab engineer. In 20 years, Santino worked his way up to become a partner...and retire, with the kind of security most working jazz musicians could only dream of,” notes the Jazz Music Examiner.

About George A. Santino

George A. Santino is a Seattle-area singer, writer and motivational speaker who is making the most of his second career by embracing his passion for performing and storytelling.  Recently retired from a fulfilling career at Microsoft, George has left the rat race for the Rat Pack. His debut album “Come Fly with Me” is a collection of crooner classics in the style of Frank Sinatra.  In addition to music, George is working on his memoirs which tells his story of getting knocked down multiple times but always getting back up.  Born in Philadelphia, PA to a family struggling to provide and growing up in a housing project where poverty and violence had a profound effect on his upbringing, George learned early on that he had to work hard to get ahead; he has a uniquely American story to tell.
