Santa IO ❄️
Santa IO is a mysterious figure who appears only in winter, stepping out of the shadows to share new Christmas music with the world. No one really knows who he is – and that’s part of the magic – but each season he returns with Christmas songs, joined by his friends Elenya Rae, Cecilia Roan, Araléne Æon, and the Doraemon Children’s Choir. Together, they bring a new twist to the sound of Christmas.
Elenya Rae
Elenya Rae is a pop project shaped by city nights. Hooks arrive like light on fresh snow, clear, modern, and built to last. The sound is sleek: palm-muted guitars, glossy synths, and tight rhythms that leave room for breath and motion. Elenya is fascinated by how small gestures become anthems: a glance, a glove, a single line that carries the whole scene. On stage, the show favors precision over spectacle, laser-cut arrangements, warm vocals, and choir-tinged textures that bloom at the chorus. The aesthetic is minimal red-white with graphite accents; the mood is fearless but kind. Whether it’s December or midsummer, Elenya treats pop like architecture: every part has a purpose, and the whole thing glows when the lights come on.
Cecilia Roan
Cecilia Roan performs new sacred-leaning music for modern ears, singable melodies, diatonic arcs, and arrangements that welcome strings, harp, and choir. The craft is disciplined but generous: clear cadences, lengthy suspensions, and the occasional modulation that opens a window in the harmony. Cecilia believes in communal breathing, in texts that withstand quiet, and in the single well-placed high note that can carry an entire finale. Performances emphasize natural dynamics and cathedral-style depth, letting voices and instruments ring until the room answers back. The aim is ambitious and straightforward: songs that feel inevitable the first time you hear them, yet reveal new light each return.
Araléne Æo
Araléne Æon performs songs that move close and breathe slowly, but also sometimes energetically. The voice is intimate, the production is understated, felt piano, soft strings, analog pads, and subtle electronic pulses that leave space for stories to unfold. Araléne’s world is built on small mercies: the way a candle changes a room, the way kindness changes a day. Melodies favor honesty over drama; arrangements prefer clarity over noise. The symbol is a golden bee, patient, purposeful, bright against winter green. Visuals lean toward soft light, handwritten details, and calm typography. In the studio, every instrument has to earn its place; silence is treated like a real instrument. Araléne’s songs don’t chase attention; they hold it gently, and they stay.
Doraemon Children’s Choir
Doraemon Children’s Choir is a flexible youth ensemble. The choir often sings in unison to focus, blend, and meaning, then adds layers, clean countermelodies, a bright descant, and a warm bed that carries the final refrain. The sound is open and natural: minimal vibrato, attentive phrasing, and a gentle church-acoustic bloom. Repertoire is new but feels timeless, melodies that stick, harmonies that make immediate sense, lines that are given space to finish. Rehearsals emphasize listening and breath; performances prioritize presence over polish for a living, human sound. Doraemon Children’s Choir sings to prove that simplicity can be monumental, and that many small voices, listening hard, can make the room larger than the notes.
