Carlos de los Santos
Head of A&R, Submarine Cat Records
As Head of A&R at Submarine Cat, I’ve built the roster and creative direction from the ground up, working closely with independent artists to shape strategies that prioritise longevity over quick wins.
Being embedded in the independent space every day has given me a front-row view of both its innovation and its structural challenges. I’m passionate about strengthening connection, transparency, and shared support across the sector - and about redefining A&R as a role that champions sustainable, artist-focused growth.
