Last year Santigold released the mixtape-style album project I Don't Want: The Gold Fire Sessions, collaboration with DJ/Producer Dre Skull. Unlike other Santigold albums, which are recorded over long periods and heavily curated and edited by Santi, the record is a loose and spontaneous project, a snapshot of the infectious energy of the two weeks she spent in the studio with Dre Skull exploring reggae and Afro-Caribbean influenced rhythms and threading them with the incisive social commentary, humor and daredevil sound that have become hallmarks of her work.

Santigold is a genre-defying musician, style renegade, and visionary artist across multiple platforms celebrated for her fearless ability to fuse unexpected elements into bold new work. An artist whose perseverance relies on invention, her singular aesthetic has made her a major muse watched by the inspired world. Santigold has released four acclaimed albums and had #1 records on both Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and Reggae Albums chart, won an ASCAP Pop Music award (Vanguard Award), and has been nominated for a Q Award, MTV Europe Music Award, and BRIT Award. She has written for other artists including Christina Aguilera, GZA, and Lilly Allen and contributed new work to film soundtracks including The Hunger Games, Paper Towns and the Power Rangers movie as well as series like The Get Down and Girls. She has also played comedic roles on The Office and Adult Swim's NTSF:SD:SUV. Her brand collaborations include a custom sneaker for Vans, an accessories collection for Stance, and a make up collection for Smashbox for which she also designed the packaging. Santigold is a passionate humanitarian who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for the worldwide water crisis and has performed for VH1 Save the Music to help preserve music education in public schools.
