Sarantos loves to surprise fans. Four years ago, there was a surprise Christmas CD, three years ago a surprise Solo Instrumentals CD, last year a Movie Instrumental CD and this year - a full instrumental CD with 14 original TV instrumentals across several genres. In 4 years, Sarantos has released 8 CDs with over 109 tracks! For comparison, most artists backed by big labels, many producers, songwriters & lyricists, a full marketing team, manager, publicist and many publishers put out 1 CD every 3 years! And let's not forget about the monthly music videos, behind the music videos and 4 complete books Sarantos has written that parallel every song and CDs. Sarantos is clearly a content producing machine.

Sarantos TV instrumental CD titled "Best TV Instrumentals - Vol. 1" with 14 original pop and rock instrumentals will be released worldwide on November 24th, 2017, Black Friday. The CD can be ordered everywhere on sites like iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google but also directly from the website as an exclusive limited edition autographed copy. Purchasing on the website will automatically sign you up for a free raffle with a lot of fan extras like a chance to have dinner with Sarantos.

Several times, Sarantos has been contacted by a music supervisors on tight deadlines. They wanted to find a cool indie sound without all the tangled rights restrictions and time lag most artists put them through. The frustration and wasted time of not getting thru the final, last step when a perfect song was found to compliment a TV scene had them frustrated.

Sarantos realized two years ago an opportunity to work on instrumentals separately from featured songs with lyrics. Having no restrictions, being able to "clear work right away" and not have to get permission from a whole slew of publishers and other artists, Sarantos is usually able to sign an agreement and allow instrumentals to be used within a few minutes.

"This full instrumental CD is for the TV music supervisors who've been tormented while trying to do their job," says Sarantos. "I feel really bad for them. Usually music is so important to prime time or smaller budget TV shows. It sets the mood and helps tell the story. The major labels, publishers and stars usually want hefty payments to allow their work to be used but most of the TV shows out there don't have that kind of budget. There are also a lot of shows that need music especially with Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google making TV shows nowadays! Indie artists can be a great source of music but they are often inconsiderate about being timely with responses and offer a lot of hurdles to music supervisors and publishers. It can be a big mess. Given the tight deadlines and low budgets most TV music supervisors have, it's often a tough thankless job. I'm glad I can help them out. They usually deal directly with me and get my music in whatever format they need with a signed agreement within a few minutes. I also have almost every genre and mood already available. I don't see a reason why I shouldn't keep putting out an extra CD every year with a wide variety of instrumentals for them to use. Most of them are really nice and pretty cool!"

Sarantos is a proud supporter of multiple charities and donates directly to many charitable organizations.

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 39 awards with Akademia LA Music, Beat 100 while also being nominated for the International Music & Entertainments Awards, Hollywood Music In Media, and the Hollywood Songwriting Awards. Even without a studio, label, ad agency or radio promoters, his songs Above The Clouds, Dreamer, and 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. He's even been picked up on the BBC worldwide!
