"Hero" isn’t just a song—it’s a reflection of my life. Since I was 14, I’ve been making music, releasing six independent albums between 2018 and 2022 under the name Santi Novillo. This journey has never been about chasing dreams; it’s about becoming the dream, being, and living the dream.
When I wrote Hero, I was living what it means to take charge of my life: selling my car, crossing the world to record at Sunset Sound, trusting my instincts, and realizing that I am the hero of my own story. Every lyric is inspired by the brave decisions that shaped me into who I am today. It’s an anthem of empowerment, inviting everyone to uncover the hero within themselves.

"Hero" is a timeless rock-pop anthem that exemplifies the grandiosity of the journey and its global appeal. The sound is huge—strong and powerful, yet beautiful and not aggressive. Like Saint, it is defiant and provocative, profound and mainstream, igniting the spark of greatness, divinity, and power within everyone. A
Drawing influences from icons like Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Mark Knopfler, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, and Shawn Mendes, Hero stands tall as a bold and universal anthem. Recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound studio..
