Paul Santo is a musician originally from Weymouth MA, with numerous Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum awards, as well as a few cool aluminum ones. He has won a Grammy and Mix TEC Award, and has popped up in DVDs by Aerosmith, Ringo Starr and Martin Scorsese. His favorite artist is Frank Zappa. "His" band was The Who (64-75). He was also highly influenced by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, particularly Sgt. Floyd Pepper, who famously said: "If I didn't know I was a genius, I wouldn't listen to the trash I write." One of his favorite sayings, which he thinks he invented is: "I can fail without even trying". Another is the Aerosmith motto "Dare to suck", as in "try anything".
