Artist description James Santarella is a 23 year old singer/songwriter/musician born and raised on the streets of Staten Island, New York. A ferry ride away from, the insomniac’s playground, New York, New York, a.k.a “The City”. A self taught musician, James’ gift for song writing and arranging seemed to come from a higher power. James experienced, what he called, the “click-effect”. Waking one morning, after years of honing his skills, to find that everything had fallen into place. Taking the next step, James formed the band Sweet Weezy with bassist, Tony Santarella. A long time recording and touring veteran. Creating their own blend of acoustic rock and soul, love and hurt songs. With the foundation set, Tony went onto recruit long time friend and band mate, drummer, John Gianoulis. The presence of John’s drums added the power to propel James’ songs into the pop worlds atmosphere. The rhythm section shares a chemistry second to none, telepathically following each others every move, communicating through the music and complimenting each others instrument. In recent months, Sweet Weezy have been gaining world wide exposure utilizing the internet. Working hard to promote and independently sell their debut CD, “Lullaby For Sale”.
