Sarantos
Bio
Sarantos
continues releasing a new song and music video every month in 2016 as
he unveils his highly anticipated 3rd album. This CD will expand on
his unique signature style that merges 80s rock with modern pop rock
music. Sarantos will continue with his edgy
experimentation! Fans
and fellow musicians marvel at his humble down-to-earth demeanor, his
dedication to his mission and the wealth of free content that
continues to drop every month along with his contributions to
charity!
His
1st solo album dropped on November 18th
2014 and Sarantos essentially has released 2 CDs every year since. He
has tackled almost every genre imaginable ranging from pop, rock,
jazz, rap and country. Fans continue to be amazed with his passion
and creativity with surprises such as a Christmas album, solo
instrumental CD, bonus covers, a steady stream of radio interviews
and much more. Fans wonder if there will be another surprise waiting
for them at the end of 2016??
Sarantos
unique sound has been best described by industry insiders as "an
emotionally powerful vocal style masterfully united with music that
is a fusion of classic 80s rock blended with modern soft rock and pop
music!"
Beat
100 while also being nominated for the International Music &
Entertainments Awards
and
the Hollywood Songwriting Awards.
Even
without ever using a professional music studio, label, ad agency or
radio promoters, Sarantos song “What If I Never See You Again”
was in the top 200 on the majors list in the US for radio airplay
according to the Digital Radio Tracker Top 200 charts. On the
independent charts, Sarantos was in the top 10. He was on both these
lists for most of 2015! Within 3 weeks of “Dreamer” being
released in April 2016, it hit the #169 spot!
Sarantos
prides himself on not releasing robotic music. In concert or on the
radio, Sarantos music is authentic and real. It has imperfections
like genuine human music should. He is always trying to sound
different musically, lyrically and vocally. He does not want fans or
critics to get bored with his efforts. Despite
the momentum and continued traction, Sarantos still has not turned a
profit since he gives away all of his songs, videos and books for
free and since of course, everything costs money to make. That said,
Sarantos donated $2,000 anyway in 2015 to the various charities that
were picked for his songs. It's not much but every little bit counts.
Hopefully this number will continue to increase as his journey
continues.
Sarantos
currently has over 1.3M Social Media followers and is rated #2 on
Reverbnation in the pop genre worldwide. Sarantos performed at the
Toronto Music Festival in May to a sold out live audience. Sarantos
music receives rave reviews every month and he relishes this chance
to pursue his life-long dream.
With
new hit tunes waiting to be released every single month until the day
he dies, Sarantos music screams success and stimulates an overdue
conversation in the always-changing music industry. Sarantos loyal
music fans continue to show their support by proudly showing off
Sarantos merchandise and staying tuned daily for his heartfelt social
media posts. His songs are being broadcast every day on various
radios stations around the globe. Sarantos continues to do weekly
interviews internationally and fans can listen in to some of them on
his YouTube page. Let’s not forget his funny, sarcastic, witty and
genuinely real music videos that leave his fans not knowing what to
expect next. Sarantos never sticks to just one theme or one emotion.
He doesn’t want fans to get bored with lame music videos that are
common in the industry. What will he try next?
There will always be plenty of
buzz as Sarantos strives to release something new to his fans every
single week! Every year until the day he dies, Sarantos will
release a new song on the 1st Tuesday of every month, a new music
video on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, a book chapter from his
fiction/fantasy book on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, and a new
Uncut Behind The Scenes video on the 4th Tuesday of every month. A
new CD & book will then be released every November along with a
surprise CD. Every year. Forever.
Sarantos
has been writing lyrics since 4th grade and is passionate about the
words he puts to the music. Music was always in his blood. Music was
always a passion and much more than a hobby. Sarantos has written
over 2,500 songs!
Having
undergone several personal challenges with Sarantos' father passing
away in 2010 after a long hard-fought battle with lung cancer,
dealing with personal health issues like asthma, chronic allergies,
eosinophilic esophagitis with a stricture the size of a straw, going
thru life's ups & downs, the timing was finally right to start
pursuing his lifelong dream in 2014. And so it began. Sarantos main
motivation remains, however, to raise money for charity.
33%
of any music related sales are going straight to charity!
Sarantos
has always been inclined to help people in need and is proud to
release his music every month as a way to donate a portion of
proceeds to charity, hopefully inspiring other artists to do the
same. His fans help him choose the charity each month. Just a few of
the charities chosen so far include the American Cancer Society,
American Lung Association, Make-a-Wish Foundation, American Heart
Association, St Jude's, American Red Cross, Salvation Army,
Children's Hospital of Chicago, Feed The Starving Children, The
Trevor Project and many more.
The website, Melogia (which in
Greek means "with words") was established by Sarantos, an
aspiring singer and song writer.

Tired Of Being Scared

Verse 1
One foot out the door
The other cemented, inside
There’s a whole world out there
That I’ve never, tried
And every time I think
I’m ready to begin
I freeze with fear so I turn around
And head inside, again
PreChorus 1
I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears
Chorus 1
I’m so damn tired
Tired of being scared
I showed my soul, to the world
But they never cared
Well that’s about to change
My bad luck’s done
Get ready world
Cuz’ here I come
Instrumental
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I am a fighter)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(I’m a survivor)
Verse 2
As I got grey and wiser
I’m less sure and more afraid
Raw memories floating next to me
Awkward palpitations, and agony
How many more moments
How much more squandered time
I let the daylight shine without me
I was drowning, all my life
PreChorus 2
I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears
Chorus 2
I’m so damn tired
Tired of being scared
I showed my soul to the world
But they never cared
Well that’s about to change
My bad luck’s done
Get ready world
Cuz’ here I come
Instrumental 2
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Bridge
I wish someone had helped me
Showed me there was no need to be afraid
PreChorus 3
I been thru much
Without much luck
In all my years
So many fears
Chorus 3
I recollect
The long weary road I’ve travelled
All that doubt and all that pain
Day after day, always betrayed!
But Now I'm tired
Tired
Fade out
I’m so tired of being scared (I’m a fighter)
I’m so tired of being myself (I’m a survivor)
I’m not gonna be scared anymore (I’m a fighter)
I’m not gonna be scared anymore (I’m a survivor)
