01 — About

The player behind the groove

A bassist's job is to make everyone else sound better. That's the whole gig.

Santiago Nazareno tocando el bajo

I'm Santiago Nazareno, a professional bass player based in Córdoba, Argentina. Music has always been an integral part of my life, and I bring a proactive, organized approach to every project — adapting easily to different environments and roles, whether improvising or following a structured chart.

Over more than a decade I've held down the low end across salsa orchestras, Latin and jazz groups, Broadway-style shows, rock bands and studio sessions. In 2024 I began performing on cruise ships, and I'm excited to keep building on that experience at sea.

Beyond bass, I've grown as a music producer, composer, teacher and band director, picking up guitar, piano, singing and Andean aerophones along the way. I'm always seeking new tools that enrich and expand my musical expression.
