Santi White a.k.a. Santigold on Music + Motherhood
#198 Santi White, aka Santigold, has performed around the world and collaborated with the best in the music industry. On Atomic Moms podcast, we chat about all things motherhood. Her latest album, “I Don’t Want: The Gold Fire Sessions”, was completed weeks before the birth of her twins, now seven months old. We laugh about her recent career day visit at her son's preschool (forget sold out arenas, nothing impresses a class of four-year-olds like the idea of a bus with bunk beds). Santi openly shares how she approaches the BIG topics with your young son like death, shyness, and racial injustice. We talk about her sixteen year relationship with her husband, professional snowboarder turned artist Trevor “Trouble” Andrew, known as Gucci Ghost, who approaches life so differently from his soul mate. You’ll be so inspired by her authenticity, drive, playfulness, and humor. I can’t wait for you to get to know Santi, the mom. xx Ellie
