New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Summer is usually filled with excitement. It's the hottest of all seasons. The days are long. The nights are short but that limitation doesn't stop the opportunity the weather provides to wear anything and expose as much skin as desired. Schools also take advantage of this convenience to let the fun run all summer long. When Sarantos thinks of summer, perfection takes center stage. Being of Greek heritage, the memories of a summertime of fun in Greece as a child weigh heavy but free. A glimmer to Sarantos eyes is immediately apprent as a mischievous smirk overtakes his face. Memories of swimming in the Mediterranean Sea and enjoying the sun's gentle energy bring a peaceful glow to the heart. A song is born just in time for the hot
Chicago summer to enjoy. The music video is a collage of footage from all of last year's videos as has become a routine once a year for Sarantos.
"This song is about the perfection that exists in all of us," says Sarantos. "We are all perfect in our own unique way. I don't think anyone should ever be able to tell us who we are or what we should be. We are defined by our own history and we set our own path for the future. We make our own legacy. We should never let others tell our own story. It is ours and ours alone. Far too often do I see younger teens and adults buckle under the pressure of perfection and trying to fulfill unrealistic expectations. There is aesthetic perfection everywhere you look - in every magazine, TV show and plastered all over the internet. My quote about perfection and advice is simple. Be yourself. There is only one you. To me, you are perfection from every angle! Nothing means more to me than your own uniqueness. We should all cherish and hold onto singularity, even as we go thru each day trying to emulate our role models who might be from our families, sports stars or celebrities. Always remember who you are and what you want to be."
33% of any music-related sales profits from this song are going straight to Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens. Sarantos was contacted by a musician who is also trying to do the right thing and raise money for charity and was impressed with the candor. So the decision was made to use that charity for this song.
Sarantos' unique sound has been best described by industry insiders as an "emotionally powerful vocal style masterfully united with music that is a fusion of classic '80s rock blended with modern soft rock and pop music."
Since 2014, Sarantos has won over 29 awards with Akademia LA
Music and Beat 100, while also being nominated for the International
Music & Entertainment Awards and the Hollywood Songwriting Awards. Even without ever using a professional music studio, label, ad agency or radio promoters, two songs "
Dreamer" & "What If I Never See You Again" have spent many months in the top 200 on the majors list in the US for radio airplay, according to the
Digital Radio Tracker Top 200 charts. On the independent charts, Sarantos has hit the top 10 twice.
