Santigold: Harnessing the Power of Punk, Breaking Barriers, and Learning to Call Herself an Artist

The Great Creators with Guy Raz

Singer/songwriter Santigold blends punk, indie, new-wave and soul music to create a sound all her own. She talks with Guy about why she initially shied away from singing, how she fights back against barriers in the music industry, and how she nourishes her creative spirit.
