Flacko Santana is an emerging artist from The Bronx, where the music scene is known for its gritty vibe and heavy Drill influence. While many artists in the borough stick to traditional sounds, Flacko Santana stands apart. “I’m from The Bronx, music out here is griddy, a lot of sounds, a lot of Drill music, but I feel like I’m bringing that different sound to NYC,” he says. “From Afrobeats to Brazilian-Latin Funk & Pop. No one in The Bronx sounds like me.”
Driven by purpose and vision, Flacko Santana isn’t just chasing fame—he’s building legacy. “My main goal in my music career is to open up doors for myself, put myself in a different bracket, especially from ones who don’t expect me to win, take care of my loved ones, and win off all my success,” he shares. This ambition reflects not only his determination but also his deep commitment to uplifting those closest to him.
Flacko Santana’s mission doesn’t end with personal success. He also aims to impact the industry at large if given a chance. “To be honest, if I can change the game in the music industry, it would be giving artists a bigger platform,” he explains. “So many talented artists with heat, and we’re not getting recognition. So many bigger artists that hear a smaller artist’s sound, and they just try to take the sound.” In a city as competitive as New York, Flacko Santana is carving out a unique path—rooted in originality, driven by purpose, and guided by a desire to uplift others in the game.
