If you don’t know already, Pedro Santos is a name you will soon know. The Portuguese born, UK based singer-songwriter has released his debut single, Someone I Don’t Know, which is available now via BKM Artists. Listen HERE.
Written by Pedro and Josh Oliver, the track has been mixed by Grammy Award winner Dan Grech (Tom Grennan, Dua Lipa, Liam Gallagher) and co-produced by Pete Robertson (The Vaccines, beabadoobee, Crawlers) and Harry Winks (South Arcade). Someone I Don’t Know is about the feeling of missing a connection with a partner. Pedro said, “I wrote Someone I Don’t Know in LA with a friend of mine when I felt like even in a crowd I was alone. It’s about longing for a partner who helps you become the best version of yourself. A lot of people say that you must do that on your own before heading towards a relationship but I strongly feel like with the right person, they can help you understand things about yourself that you never understood.” Looking forward to the track being his debut release, he continued, “I wanted to allow people to really understand how I felt in that precise moment and thought it was a good way of starting the story of what I had been feeling ever since starting to write for my project.”
Pedro is undoubtedly set to be one of the most exciting new artists of the year, having already locked in support tours and festival slots, including a spot on the line up at All Points East in London on 23rd August, alongside huge stars Raye, Tyla, Doechii and Jade. He spent three weeks touring Europe supporting alt rock band Only The Poets and met thousands of fans across the continent at impromptu meet and greets, having built a huge social media fan base including 1.5 million followers on Tiktok and 502k on Instagram.
Pedro was a member of boyband sensations Here At Last, having sold out Shepherds Bush Empire and played the iconic BST in London. Having decided to part ways last year to pursue their own careers, Pedro took time focusing on his songwriting and with plans to release more throughout the year, he is definitely going to be one to watch.
