Biography

Born Eduardo Santiago RodrÃguez on August 18, 1955, in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, multi-platinum-selling Puerto Rican sonero Eddie Santiago redefined the salsa landscape with the release of his 1986 debut Atrevido y Diferente. Known for pioneering the "salsa romÃ¡ntica" movement, his smooth blend of pop melodies, sensual rhythms, and sophisticated arrangements challenged traditionalist views but resonated deeply with audiences. Before his solo success, Eddie Santiago honed his craft as a singer with various salsa groups, including GeneraciÃ³n 2000 and Conjunto Chaney, where he sang alongside Willie GonzÃ¡lez. Eddie Santiago's debut album, released on Rodven Records, broke sales records and outperformed most salsa albums of its time, helping to revive the genre during an era dominated by merengue. He followed this with Sigo Atrevido!, a Grammy-nominated album that solidified his chart dominance throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. Hits like "Lluvia," "Insaciable," and "Todo EmpezÃ³" became staples in the salsa scene, and his collaboration with Luis Enrique, Los Principes de la Salsa, topped the Tropical Songs chart. In 1999, Santiago signed with Sony and released CelebraciÃ³n: Epic Duets, which brought together reimagined hits with artists like Elvis Crespo and Victor Manuelle. His later albums, including 2001's Ahora and 2004's DespuÃ©s del Silencio, continued his legacy as a key figure in salsa music, earning critical acclaim and a lasting fanbase.
