While some of you may not know her name yet, her voice should come to no surprise if you are a fan of Bachata. Remember the sensual female vocals on Aventura hits like Obsession, La Guerra, Angelito? Or Toby Love’s Tu Y Yo? Well that was none other than Judy Santos.
The Dominican songstress from Sleepy Hollow, NY returns to set her own mark as a solo Bachata artist. As a young musician, Judy drew inspiration from many powerful female artists. Artists like Mariah Carey, Ana Gabriel and Mary J. Blige shaped her musical taste that ultimately ended up in the mostly male-centric Bachata.
When you describe what separates Judy from both her male and female bachata counterparts you have to talk about her vocals, flow and style. She says "Bachata is a male dominated genre and the fact that Obsession reached the heights that it did, that informed people that women can sing bachata." With her latest project Judy Santos is out to prove just that.
