Feeling “Overwhelmed”?! So Is Royal & The Serpent

Ryan Santiago, the front woman and songwriter of Royal & The Serpent is here to stay. She explains the thoughtfulness of the band’s name as a play on her Gemini personality:

“I definitely feel like I’m two people living in one body, where I can just slip at the drop of dime and become a totally different person,” notes Santiago, who equally identifies as a “sweet sunshine angel” (i.e., the Royal persona) and a “freaky devil maniac” (the Serpent).
