Biography

Rodrigo Santic originated his formal music studies at age 15, taking up classical guitar 
and later focusing on music composition for three years in his native Santiago, Chile. 
But he realized the saxophone was his passion and went on to spend the next decade 
at the University of Chile’s Music Conservatory studying classical saxophone and 
devoting himself to chamber music.
His musical success soon started taking shape. In 1997 he joined the Cuarteto de 
Saxofones Villafruela, a sax quartet which has showcased its classic and contemporary 
musical skills through live performa ... nces and radio and television appearances in Chile, 
Argentina and Bolivia. The group released a two-disc album called “Saxofones en 
Latinoamérica,” a repertoire of Latin American music and “Saxofón en Concierto, 
compositores chilenos 1988-1998,” which consists of contemporary works by Chilean 
composers.
Rodrigo also played for the musical score featured in the short film “Miradas del 
pasado.”
Throughout this time, Rodrigo performed with various orchestras, including Juvenil 
de Santiago, National Youth Symphony, Symphony of Chile and the Santiago 
Philharmonic.
His musical accomplishments were further recognized when he received scholarships 
from the Andes Foundation in 1999 and the Friends of the Santiago Municipal Theater 
Corporation in 2002.
Then the countless hours spent in the conservatory’s basement paid off when Rodrigo 
earned a Bachelor of Arts with a focus on music performance for saxophone in 2001, 
followed by another degree in saxophone performance in 2003, both with highest 
honors.
Yet jazz continued to beckon him, even taking on a parallel role with his classical 
studies. He participated in various international jazz festivals as a member of Los 
Andes Big Band and jazz groups. In 2003, he was the guest saxophonist for Grupo 
Lucybell in the XLIV Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar.
Once he was done with his studies at the conservatory, Rodrigo left his home country and set out to travel the world, accompanied by his saxophone and the goal of 
developing further as a musician. The next few years took him to Bologna, Italy and 
Barcelona, Spain, where he studied jazz. After returning to Chile, he was sponsored by 
the Chilean government’s Ministry of Foreign Relations for a series of musical 
workshops and shows in the San Francisco Bay Area with the Cuarteto 
Latinoamericano de Saxofones.
Since 2007 Rodrigo has been performing with various jazz, salsa and merengue bands 
throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
It was in San Francisco in 2011 where the concept of his first Album Cyclos and its 
compositions were born.
Since 2012 Rodrigo has been working on cruise ships for different cruise lines playing with several orchestras and performing with many guests entertainers and also being part of many production shows.
