Trained in classical guitar at UEMG, he holds an M.A. in Jazz Studies from the University of New Orleans and is pursuing a Ph.D. in Latin American Studies at Tulane University. A recipient of the 2017 Louis Armstrong Jazz Composer Award, Santos is recognized for blending performance with critical research on race, cultural appropriation, and musical translation.
