Royal & the Serpent's dramatic alt-electro-pop is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Ryan Santiago. She introduced her assertive sound and distinctively girlish yet bluesy voice with the single "Temperance" in 2017.
With inspirations spanning big band, early rock & roll, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Nicks, the New Jersey native established Royal & the Serpent after settling in Los Angeles to work on developing her sound.
In 2018, she co-wrote and was featured on "Wicked" by producer Tommee Profitt, a spooky, theatrical track that was used for the trailer for the crime film The Girl in the Spider's Web.
Royal & the Serpent returned with the single "Together" in early 2019 before signing with Suicide Squeeze, which issued "Weddings & Funerals" that April.
