In 2012, as Santigold, she released her Master of My Make-Believe, which topped the Billboard Dance and Electronic Albums chart.
Her songs have been placed in a variety of notable TV episodes, including Run the Road on HBO’s hit show Euphoria, and Go! (featuring Karen O.), on The Handmaid’s Tale.
Recently, she co-wrote the music for Dee Rees’ forthcoming musical fantasy film The Kyd’s Exquisite Follies.
She’s currently working on a new album and feature film.
