Santimans, born and raised in Kabala town, Koinadugu district, Northern Sierra Leone, hails from a family deeply rooted in music. His early inspiration came from his elder brother, a gospel singer and music producer. Santimans discovered his own musical talents at the age of ten, composing his songs.
Despite facing initial recording challenges due to the lack of a studio in Kabala town, Santimans persevered, completing his education and recording his first music in 2013. He continued to hone his craft, joining Biko’s studio in 2014-15 and later co-founding Farmland Music in 2016 with fellow musicians.
Over the years, Santimans has released several chart-topping tracks, including “Salone Na We Yone,” which became an anthem for national peace and unity initiatives. His dedication to music has earned him recognition and awards, such as the Radio Bintumani Best of the Best award in 2018 and the Koinadugu and Falaba Achievement Awards in 2021, the FaNEA award and a National Entertainment Awards nomination
Santimans is not only a musician but also a dedicated public servant, contributing to health interventions in Sierra Leone, particularly during the Ebola and COVID-19 crises.
His latest album, “NO BAD MIND,” is poised to make a significant impact, featuring collaborations with DJ Alman, Shauibu, and S.0.5. Santimans’ mission is to use his music to effect positive change in society, inspire others to pursue their talents and dreams, and connect global audiences to Sierra Leone’s rich culture through the universal language of music, expressed primarily in the local Krio dialect.
